Skyr (pronounced skeer) is a traditional Icelandic dairy product, made specifically with skyr cultures, to produce a food that’s like yogurt, but thicker and creamier. It also has a rich flavor that isn’t overtly sour or tart in taste, like yogurt. Icelandic Provisions is a modern day pioneer for skyr, and they’ve recently branched out into a dairy-free line. Icelandic Provisions Oatmilk Skyr is made with live and active heirloom skyr cultures, but unlike their other skyr products, it’s completely plant-based.
