What is Skyr?

Skyr has been a provision of Icelanders for more than a thousand years. Although it’s often compared to yogurt, Skyr is distinct in several ways. Skyr is a densely concentrated, cultured dairy product that’s thick, creamy, and packed with protein. In fact, it takes nearly four cups of milk to make each cup of Skyr. Our Skyr is unique because it’s made with Original Skyr Cultures, which makes it the only authentic Icelandic Skyr in the US market.

Is your product made in Iceland?

We produce our Skyr in upstate New York using milk sourced from family-owned farms and heirloom Skyr cultures that originated in Iceland. And we continue to work with the oldest dairy cooperative in Iceland, MS Dairies, to maintain the heritage and quality of our Skyr—meaning it’s 100% authentic, even if it’s made here in the United States.

Icelandic Provisions Skyr contains more protein and less sugar than the leading yogurts.*
