We are excited to share this starter culture with you that will make endless amounts of yoghurt. No need to buy again and again as with most other yoghurt cultures.

Comes with clear instructions and a video via email to make Probiotic Yoghurt and recipes for Greek Yoghurt, Simple Yoghurt Cheese (labneh) and Shankleesh (Lebanese cheese balls marinated in olive oil). Please look for an email with the subject line: [KoruKai Herb Farm] Files available for your order

Making your own probiotic yoghurt is easy with this starter culture and you avoid added preservatives, sugar, thickener and flavours of many store bought probiotic yoghurts. Plus you get to choose what milk you are going to use. 
Please note that you need to make a batch of yoghurt within 3-5 days of receiving the culture and then reculture every 2 weeks to keep the culture alive and healthy.

You will need a thermometer and we highly recommend the Fermentation Flask to hold the temperature at 40 C for 8 hours. It makes yoghurt making at home super easy.


Taste and texture of this yoghurt:

It makes a thick and creamy yoghurt, slightly sour and mild. A beautiful yoghurt loved by everyone who visits the farm. It can be mixed with honey, fruits and berries of all kinds. It has a great texture, too.

Probiotics in this yoghurt: Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Lactobacillus Bulgaricus, Bifidobacterium Bifidus, Streptococcus Thermophilus


You will get:

- Package with 2 x 1.5 tsp of probiotic starter culture to make 1kg of probiotic yoghurt and some backup. You can of course make less yoghurt. Check the directions file for further details. Then you reuse some of the yoghurt that you have made and keep culturing. No need to buy the culture ever again!
- Instructions via email with directions to make Probiotic Yoghurt.

Article: 10 Proven Probiotic Yogurt Benefits & Nutrition Facts



FAQ:

1. Can I use this culture to make coconut yoghurt?
A: This probiotic yoghurt feeds on lactose and only dairy milk can feed it properly. When trialling milk replacements like coconut milk, almond milk etc. please make sure to keep a healthy starter culture safe in the fridge so you have something to use if the experiment fails.We recommend the Vegan Yoghurt Culture to make coconut yoghurt and other non-dairy yoghurt.


2. How often do I need to make this yoghurt to keep it viable?
A: It is best to reculture this yoghurt every 10-14 days. So it is best to make only the amount of yoghurt that you need for two weeks.

3. It is only me in my family that eats yoghurt. Can I make a smaller batch than 1 kg?
A: Yes, you can make 500g of yoghurt without problems. Simply use half of the recommended culture for 500ml of milk.


4. What is involved making this yoghurt? Can you give me a quick run down of the steps?
A: The perpetual yoghurt steps:
- heat milk to 82 C
- cool milk to 42/45 C
- add culture
- let ferment at 42 C for 8 hours.

The ebooklet that comes with it gives you more details and ideas on how to hold the temperature at 42 C for that time. A yoghurt maker like the one below is ideal.

5. What's the difference to the Caspian Sea Yoghurt?
A: The Caspian Sea Yoghurt cultures at room temperature, so you can make a raw milk yoghurt without the need the heat the milk to high temperatures. It takes 24 hours at 20 C to make and the probiotic yoghurt takes 8 hours at 40 C. The taste and texture of the yoghurts are also different.

Great success

Received your probiotic perpetual yoghurt a couple of days ago and have made two patches using whole milk and light milk and both were very successful and tasted great. Looking forward to expanding my use of yoghurt in my diet.

Like magic!

Came in the mail yesterday and I made yoghurt today. I only needed half of what was in the package. Made 1 kilo of yoghurt with 1 litre of milk and 1.5 tsp of starter. Instructions were very good. Fantastic result and so delicious. The flask works a treat. I already look forward to make the next batch. Thank you so much!

Excellent product

I read your newsletter about Perpetual Yogurt so I decided to give it a go. I bought the flask, the thermometer and the culture, I have never done yogurt before so I followed the instructions carefully ( I have never been more nervous about killing bacteria than yesterday ) but it worked!! I am delighted. I took a couple of photos for you to see. So just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful product. A few months ago I also bought milk kefir grains from you and I can definitely feel the benefits on my body. Highly recommend. Thanks!

Love to make my own

I love the process of yoghurt making every second week. I enjoy it with my homemade muesli for breakfast and my grandkids also got a taste for it. The instructions are great and the process is easy. Once you have done it once, you are away. It saves me a lot of money as it can be used again and again with only one teaspoon from the last batch. Highly recommend this culture.

Didn't work for me.

Followed instructions and used specially designed yogurt thermos flask. Negative result. KoruKai just said it works for others. It wasn't cheap, they are stingy with quantity provide. An expensive wast of time. Great promises of 4kg of yoghurt. I got none. It's too expensive for the miserly amount supplied, too. But others might find it great. Just my experience. Response from KoruKai: Hi Stefan, We are very sorry for your experience. I hear your frustration when things don’t go as planned. When we started out making yoghurt 10 years ago, instructions were not available and it took us a few batches to get things right. Now you are lucky that you received instructions and a superb yoghurt culture that can be used over and over again. We are sorry that you forgot to reach out to us and send us a message when things went wrong. We would have been more than happy to help you troubleshoot and set you on the right track. Part of what you pay for is for the instruction booklet with recipes and the email support, but you did not take up this offer. When you did reach out, you were unwilling to explain your process as you have given up already and you were unwilling to give it another go with our help. We also noticed that you probably used too much of the culture provided and this could just be the reason for your failed batch. This is also a great reminder for others that we are a quick phone call or an email away for supporting you with this process. You get 4 teaspoons (twice as much as promised on the order page) in the mail so you have backup on hand if things go wrong the first time. A great reminder also to stick to the instructions and use 1 tsp. per litre of milk and not more. Simply store the backup in the fridge as you might need it. We have helped now close to 100 people to get off commercial yoghurt cultures and have made a lot of people aware that making your own, additive-free, fresh yoghurt at home is fun, easy and so rewarding.

Best culture!

I just love this yoghurt. It's smooth and creamy and so delicious. I have made now 5 successful batches and also make Greek yoghurt once a month. The instructions that come with it are excellent and the email support is fast and friendly. Thank you so much for all that you do to make this culture available for others. Really appreciate it that I now can make yoghurt fresh every week and don't need to buy freeze-dried-use-once commercial cultures.
