SCANDINAVIAN VIILI YOGURT STARTER (makes 1 liter)

Bacillus Bulgaricus Viili Starter makes genuine
Scandinavian Viili of exceptional quality with traditional Viili taste,
consistency, and aroma. Our Viili has a mild, nutty, cheese-like 
taste and a thick and stretchy, viscous consistency.

Viili is a mesophilic fermented milk product coming from Finland,
which resembles yogurt. Viili is the result of the action of lactic acid
bacteria and yeasts, which work together to form a velvet-like surface
and a rich, smooth consistency of the Viili. The name comes from a
byproduct from the actions of the strains, a phosphate-containing
heteropolysaccharide, called viilian. Viilian is similar to kefiran
produced by kefir strains. Viili has been a cornerstone of the Finnish
diet for centuries and is a superfood with multiple health benefits. It has, in 
recent years, gained a world popularity much similar to Bulgarian
yogurt.

Viili comes in three forms — short, long and the original. The short
version has a consistency similar to commercial yogurt with a mild
taste. The long version has a ropy, or stringy, consistency that
stretches much like honey. Traditional viili has a slimy, ropy
consistency and is mildly nutty in taste. Our Viili is the traditional
type.

Viili is a mesophilic product, which means you can culture it at room temperature.

This is an authentic Viili heirloom starter. Each pack contains loose
powder mix, in perfect proportions, of the strains required to make the
perfect Viili.

Our Viili starter makes genuine Scandinavian Viili of exceptional
quality with classic Viili taste, thickness, and aroma. Classic Viili has
a mild, nutty, cheese-like taste and a viscous, ropy and stretchy
consistency — the perfect balance between slimy and creamy — a
distinguishing characteristic of the traditional Viili.

This is a heirloom Viili starter with live active bacteria, which
means that you can reuse Viili from your previous batch to culture your
new batch, for as long as you wish.

The starter contains lactic acid cultures isolated from natural
sources in ecologically preserved areas in Finland and Bulgaria. It is
fully natural and organic with no preservatives, additives, artificial
colors, or flavors. It contains no GMO ingredients and it is soy and
gluten free.
