Coolinario L Reuteri Yogurt Starter (10-PK, 1.5g Sachets) Reuteri Probiotic

I bought this yogurt starter to have on hand for when we run out of yogurt to make a subsequent batch. We were pleasantly surprised at how thick, creamy, and custard like this yogurt turned out. It was much less tart/sour, and didn’t taste like the sour cream most store bought greek style yogurts taste like. My kids will eat this yogurt plain without any additional sweeteners, which is a huge plus. We do not follow the directions on the package. We were taught to make our yogurt the traditional Turkish or Bulgarian way; bring milk to a boil, simmer for 20-30 minutes, then cool to 110-115F (if you don’t have a thermometer, test until you can keep your clean pinky in the hot milk for 5-7 seconds without burning). We then dissolve this starter in a few spoonfuls or warm milk and add to the remainder of the milk poured into a 1/2 gallon jar. We then wrap our jar in a towel and “put it to sleep” in the oven, with just the light on, for approximately 10-12 hours. It turns out perfect every time. We have not had a failed or thin batch yet, and don’t find it necessary to strain, as it comes out thick enough for our liking.

This was my first attempt at making an L. reuteri dairy culture, and the results were astonishing. Since I had researched the topic a fair bit and found that many folks have issues with separation and odd tastes on their first batch using L. reuteri probiotic tablets or capsules as their starter culture, I was really happy that my entire batch of L. reuteri yogurt came out perfectly formed, thick, creamy, smooth, and delicious using the Coolinario L reuteri yogurt starter. The product of this starter culture is a 5-star yogurt. It is really good. Then I read the fine print. The ingredients of the starter culture are a blend of L. reuteri, L. bulgaricus, S. thermophilus, L.casei, and L. plantarum, it is not just L. reuteri. I'm unsure if this blend of cultures and the resulting yogurt effectively replicates the health benefits of L. reuteri, as documented in clinical studies. Are the colony counts of L. reuteri substantial enough in light of the competition from other bugs in the starter culture (L. Bulgaricus and S. thermophilus work together and grow quickly, producing lactic acid and fermenting milk into yogurt)? L. reuteri, however, grows more slowly. If you are looking to create a highly potent cultured dairy product using only L. reuteri, this may not be the ideal starter. Does the low temperature and long culture time recommended for making the L. reuteri yogurt reduce the competition from L. bulgaricus and S thermophilus enough? This is a good question for a microbiologist who has specifically studied this. Having said that, I still very much enjoyed the yogurt I made with this starter, and in time, there is value to using this starter to make yogurt at home. Size wise, One 1g sachet mixed with 2 tablespoons of prebiotic fiber blend was enough to culture roughly 50 oz. of milk (I made four mason jars worth of yogurt). N=1

This product is great I have successful yogurt every time with this. I love my thick creamy yogurt it has a light creamy taste. It dissolves easily

My first try with a brand new yogurt maker. Used L Reut. Starter. Easy to follow instructions. We followed instuctions and boiled whole milk for an extra 30 minutes. We got top notch, delicious, smooth yogurt after 12 hours of fermentation.

’ve been using this L. Reuteri starter for homemade yogurt in a sous‑vide setup, and it’s been incredibly reliable. Every batch has come out smooth and tangy, and I’ve reordered multiple times because the results have been so consistent. It’s also been a nice addition to our gut‑health routine. Each sachet is surprisingly versatile—you can make several types of yogurt, and one pouch is enough for larger batches. The instructions are straightforward, and the culture activates quickly without any fuss. Pros: Easy to use, clear instructions, and dependable results Bottom line: I haven’t had a single bad batch. Great value and a solid choice for anyone making yogurt at home.

I used this starter to make yogurt and it turned out great. The texture was smooth and creamy, and the flavor was very good. It’s like a plain yogurt that you get in a tub. It fermented well and made a nice homemade yogurt that my family enjoyed. I included a photo and video showing the results. One thing I want to clarify for anyone specifically looking for L. reuteri yogurt: while L. reuteri is listed in the culture, this is actually a multi-strain starter. It also contains other bacteria such as L. bulgaricus, S. thermophilus, L. casei, and L. plantarum. Because of this, it’s not the same as making a pure L. reuteri yogurt that some people are looking for for specific probiotic benefits. That said, it still makes a very good probiotic yogurt. The culture blend produces a tasty, gut-friendly yogurt with a nice consistency. If you’re simply looking for a quality yogurt starter that makes delicious homemade yogurt, this works very well. Just be aware it’s a mixed culture yogurt, not a pure L. reuteri culture. I hope this helps anyone trying to decide which starter culture to buy.

I made it and it tastes great.

I purchased this for the second time in June 2026. The problem is the sachets did not work like the first time I ordered it. I thought I might have done something wrong. Then I placed another order of the same thing and all of the packets work like the first time I ordered. I think the June 2026 order was defective. The problem is there is no way to talk to someone to complain. I just thought I would let people no that they could get a defective product with no recourse. I enjoy the product very much when it works. Sharon

Ottimo Starter molto veloce pratico , lo preferisco allo starter yogurt classico bianco da supermercato e molto piu veloce la cosa con starter il polvere una bustina per ogni litro di latte appena intiepidito da minimo da 40- 43 gradi giro per 1-2 minuti e perfetto io lo sciolgo direttamente nel recipiente di 1,4 lt in vetro della yogurtiera quello in dotazione , la vedo migliore come opzioni a differenza della tazzina piccola , li secondo me devi mischiarlo molto bene se no si formano grumi. (Che non fa nulla se vi capitasse) non mi ci trovo molto bene io parlo per me e non puoi girarlo scioglierlo bene essendo la tazzina troppo piccola .

Este fermento hace unos yogures increíbles, riquísimos. Eso sí, uso con leche entera pasteurizada o UHT.

El producto es bueno y efectivo , el yogurt que produce tiene buen sabor y sale espeso lo que no me gusta es que la textura es ligeramente babosa, el iniciador , se tiene que refrigerar una vez que llega a tu casa y el letrero que lo indica está muy chico así que lo deje en la alacena una semana antes de saberlo, tampoco me gustó que diga que tiene reuteri cuando las instrucciones para prepararlo no son compatibles con el tiempo de desarrollo del reuteri.

Très bon ferment pour préparer son propre yaourt J’ai acheté ce ferment pour préparer des yaourts maison et je suis satisfaite du résultat. Il est facile à utiliser et permet de préparer une bonne quantité de yaourt avec un seul sachet. La préparation est simple et le yaourt obtenu est bien crémeux. J’apprécie également le fait qu’il soit sans OGM et sans conservateurs. Je recommande ce produit pour ceux qui souhaitent préparer facilement leurs propres yaourts à la maison.

My new Greek yoghurt maker that works well with semi-skimmed or full-fat milk. Best of all you can use some of the previous batch to start the next batch, so very cost effective, and you can use the leftover whey for baking or as a tomato plant feed. The actual strained yoghurt is very thick and mild in flavour, and takes to stewed fruit or real honey very well. I can’t comment on the gut health claims though. I do recommend buying two yoghurt strainers as it makes 4-pints of unstrained yoghurt, but you can strain it through one of those vegetable bags you get from supermarkets, or through butter muslin cloths.
