What is Extra creamy skyr?
Extra creamy skyr is an Icelandic cultured dairy food, traditionally made by fermenting milk and straining it to a thick, spoonable consistency. This richer version has a smooth, dense texture and a gently tangy taste, somewhere between thick yogurt and fresh cheese. In Iceland it is commonly eaten at breakfast or as a snack, often with fruit, oats or a little honey; elsewhere, it also works well in breakfast bowls, smoothies and simple desserts. It is high in protein, with 8.8 g per 100 g, and makes a filling base for toppings. For a lighter bowl, pair it with fresh berries or sliced fruit rather than adding sweet sauces.
