Simply keep the packets in the freezer and remove the portion for your recipe when it's time to make yogurt. Most Direct-Set cultures contain multiple doses to inoculate multiple batches.

- I believe this is the starter culture I want. I am unclear as to how many "packets" are contained in each $6.99 order. please advise. Regards, JC
- It's one packet, and the packet contains 1 teaspoon of starter. You can use 1/8 teaspoon to make 1 to 2 quarts of yogurt, and the rest can be stored in the refrigerator.

- Can this starter be used with nut or alternative milks?
Thanks - Yes, you can culture an alternative milk using this starter although to get the desired consistency, you may need to add a thickener. See this article for more information about alternative milks http://www.culturesforhealth.com/alternative-milks-for-making-yogurt This article addresses recommended thickeners: http://www.culturesforhealth.com/thickening-flavoring-homemade-yogurt The resulting yogurt would contain a small amount of dairy because the starter is grown in organic whole milk.

- Will it work to use pectin as a thickener? I have a fair amount of instant pectin (the type used for freezer jam) and wondered if I could use that in my yogurt.
- Pectin is frequently used as a thickener in commercial products and should work very well with the Mild Flavor Yogurt Starter or any of the heirloom yogurt starters.

- Mild and Creamy Review by Kayman

I have looked for a yogurt like I get in Paris. This one is so close. I make with 34 oz. whole milk and 8 oz. of heavy cream (1/8 tsp. starter) and incubate for 7 hours. When done, add strawberry jam to taste. It is extremely close to what I get in Paris. So delicious!!! (Posted on March 14, 2012)Value Quality Price

I love the yogurt I made with this starter. I had tried to make ogurt before with another type of yogurt cuture but those batches would be inconsistant. This is creamy, thick and delicious - and I have never had the trouble with consistancy as I did with the other cuture. This is a great product!! (Posted on November 11, 2011)Price Value Quality
