I have made Yogurt for many years and this is the Best Starter for Bulgarian Yogurt I have used.Sure, I have made Yogurt from Store Bought Yogurts but there is no comparison to making Bulgarian Yogurt from this Starter as it is pure and makes much better tasting and thicker Yogurt.No problems of any kind and it worked much faster than I anticipated... about 12 hours using the Starter. Naturally will be much faster making other batches from the finished Yogurt.I always slowly heat Whole Milk on the Stove to 180 degrees F. to allow the milk to thicken and break down the enzymes then cool the pan of milk in cool water in the sink to 110 F. I add the Starter, mix and let it stand covered on the counter for 30 minutes. Many times I have added Heavy Cream, about 1 part cream to 7 parts milk or 1 part cream to 10 parts milk to add more richness and help thicken it. Not needed with this Starter as it will be very thick and tasty with just whole milk.Add the mixture to my Yogurt maker and cover the Yogurt Maker with a Towel as a thermal barrier.Works Fast and is the thickest, best tasting Bulgarian Yogurt .I highly recommend this Company and Their Bulgarian Yogurt Started... Simple and Extremely Good.

When I used other cultures. Sometimes it would work and other times it just didn't. This one works every time and you get great, thick yogurt that I never have to filter.

This is my second order. The yogurt is delicious and thick. I haven't bought yogurt from the store in over a month. I'm making a new batch from the finished yogurt and the quality is still great.

I decided to try my hand at making homemade yogurt since bread making was going well. I chose this started because it said that it had less tanginess than some of the other brands. I tried doing it in a crock pot which didn't work out, but that was not the starter's fault... I goofed it up. It came out runny, but the flavor was great! They were right, it wasn't too tart at all. Next time I plan on using the stovetop method. Hopefully I can do a better job... I know it will taste great!

I made the first batch of 1 litre yogurt with one packet of this culture. I skipped the boiling step and just heated milk in the microwave to lukewarm before adding culture. After 15 hours incubation in the instant pot and some chilling in the fridge, it was perfect and reminiscent of the old fashioned yogurt from my childhood in China. No sweetener needed; it’s so flavourful, refreshing, and just the right amount of tangy. Now I’m onto the 3rd generation yogurt.

It's a bit difficult to learn the correct technique with these, but I think I've finally got it. My first batch came out tasteless and full of hard lumps. I think I overcooked the milk when preparing it, and I didn't give it enough fermenting time (or whatever you call it). So I slow-cooked the milk, let it stand until luke-warm, stirred together a tiny amount of the milk with a culture until fully mixed, and then put it all in the larger rectangular container in the heater unit. And I let it sit heated for 24 hours. That came out almost perfect. I'll do a bit more research before I try the last one, but at least I'm getting there.

I have been making yogurt for about 35 years, but always used a good brand of store bought yogurt as a starter. Recently, no doubt due to supply chain difficulties, my regular brand was absent from the shelf. I decided this would be a great opportunity to try yogurt from a packaged culture. I followed the instructions closely for the first batch, but modified the ingredients slightly based on how I have always done it. I used 1% milk and added 1/4 cup of powdered milk to the one quart batch. The instructions said the first batch would come out thin, but it came out just like normal yogurt! I incubated for 22 hours at 110F because this long time was recommended for the first batch. A few days later I used some of the first batch as a starter to make two more quarts, which is my standard batch size. Same milk with powdered milk, but about two tablespoons of yogurt per quart as starter and this time incubated for eight hours, which is what I typically do. Both batches made very good and nicely tart yogurt!For the last 15 years or so I have used a styrofoam egg incubator to make yogurt. The small heating element and fan can be adjusted to hold a steady 110F and it holds two one quart yogurt containers perfectly.
