Here at Ice Moon Prison, we have a habit of becoming fond of foods available only in other parts of the world.\u00a0 When we visited eastern Canada, for instance, we were introduced to poutine<\/a> and Montr\u00e9al smoked meat<\/a>.\u00a0 When we visited Iceland, we were introduced to skyr.\u00a0 Skyr<\/a>, a kind of thick yoghurt, proved impossible to get in Australia, until late 2017 when three different brands materialized at once.\u00a0 We purchased all three and reviewed them side by side.<\/p>\n

Updated June 2019: Procal Dairies Skyr and nudie Icelandic yoghurt are no longer available.\u00a0 A new skyr from siggi’s is now available.<\/em><\/p>\n

Procal Dairies Icelandic Skyr<\/h1>\n

\"Procal<\/a><\/h1>\n

Melbourne-based Procal Dairies<\/a> was the first to release its version of skyr in September 2017.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>Procal skyr is thick and holds its shape.\u00a0 Its texture is smooth and there is a creamy mouthfeel not present in the other two skyrs in this review.\u00a0 This skyr is fairly acidic.\u00a0 Also present is an oddly metallic (but not unpleasant) aftertaste; we cannot recall if authentic Icelandic skyr has this flavour.<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\n

Skim milk, Milk solids, Live yoghurt cultures<\/p>\n
