Nice story, especially about the company's beginnings.
I encourage people to try their hand at making yogurt. It's a little time consuming (proper prep, timing, temperature monitoring, cleanup), but otherwise easy and the result is so satisfying. For me, the cost is about the same (if using expensive milk at 2x the price of "normal" stuff), but again it's all about satisfaction.
It's partly about the value of understanding one's food, and partly that with only a little practice, it's difficult to find better tasting yogurt at the store.
- jivardo_nucci 11y agoVery easy recipe (takes about an hour, mostly waiting for milk to cool): - Buy a container of your favorite _plain_ yogurt and a gallon of milk, - Boil the milk in a pan, - Cool milk until it is warm (usual baby formula test - you can drop it on your forearm w/o hurt), - Add the plain yogurt and stir well, - Cover pan and put in a warm place, e.g., inside your unlit gas oven (pilot light should be running) and forget about it for 8-12 hours, It will become thick tasty yogurt. Save some for the next batch.
- jqm 11y agoAgreed. Its even better if the homemade yogurt is strained. I got one of these a few months ago and have been mightily impressed. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DDXWX0Q http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DDXWX0Q I strain the yogurt down much thicker than even Greek yogurt sold in stores. It's great on a sandwich, as a mayo substitute, dressings etc. I have experimented with a number of different starters from commercial yogurts and each has a slightly different flavor. Homemade yogurt really is very good and worth a try.
