great taste, takes a bit longer to ferment
Loved the taste! So good. Creamy, light and delightful. I followed the instructions, used a yogurt maker and it took a bit longer to ferment (~12-18 hours depending on the desired thickness) than stated on the package. But the taste is unbeatable. I’m curious though if the starter indeed can only be used once to retain the flavor. Currently running the second batch with the leftover from the first batch. Will come back to update later. By the way, the milk I used is whole milk from Penn State’s Creamery, which definitely adds on to the flavor & quality of the yogurt I made.

Excellent yogurt starter. My husband now eats yogurt!
This is a very easy yogurt to make and tasty. I make it in a yogurt maker. I use about 2 Tablespoons of the already prepared yogurt from the week before, with 3 new envelopes of the starter, and 5 and a half cups of milk. I add chia seeds to make the yogurt a little thicker. After 10 hours overnight in the yogurt maker, it goes in the fridge. Perfect!

Does not work, it is not cheap and not good results
Definitely does not work, I have followed the instructions and the yogurt does not form, I have tried 6hrs 8hrs 12hrs in the yogurt maker and nothing, I bought a package for me and my brother and any of the work. I like to make my own yogurt for my 1 year old and this is the first time I tried this brand and what a fiasco.

Naturally delicious !
This is by far the tastiest and creamiest yogurt culture I’ve had the pleasure of trying. I was drawn to the product due to the added rose. Yes, it will have a very slight floral scent at first when you stir the culture into the prepared milk. However, after incubating that fragrance lessens even more. It does offer a very small variation on the taste, but does not taste like flowers at all! It simply helps develop a more creamy flavor. My neighbor said it was like eating melting ice cream! We added honey, strawberries, and a chocolate granola~ Some of the best yogurt can be made with this culture. It came a long way to get to me and arrived in perfect condition. I am hoping to get my hands on more soon as I’m almost out! Well worth the wait and shipping.

good flavor
The yogurt starter works as any other. Add it to milk, keep it in warm place for a day and you get a yogurt. It came out good. Unlike other started cultures, this one expressly states to not reuse the yogurt leftovers to make a new batch. I am not sure if it is a marketing move or what, since it will still work, theoretically indefinitely, but it will pick up stuff from the air and slowly change, just as with any other culture, I suppose. Eventually you either get it contaminated with something bad and will need to throw it away, or it becomes your own signature starter. I call their saying that bacteria would be "less prevalent" if you reuse the starter a not completely accurate statement.

Makes excellent SCD yogurt!
Best yogurt starter I have used. I make SCD yogurt with this, as it doesn't have bifidus cultures in it. Pricey, but well worth it. I use two packets per two quarts of organic milk.

Yogurt starter
This has a similar taste, but not the same taste as true bulgarian yogurt has. It did not yield thick yogurt. Texture of yogurt was smooth and more runny.

Tasty
Very tasty yogurt. I use fat milk, sometimes I add a little butter or heavy whipping cream. That combination makes your yogurt very creamy!

I've had good results from this product, using a yoghurt maker but for some reason it has doubled in price in the last 12 months. So I'm going to look elsewhere

Das Jogurthferment war untauglich. Bei drei Versuchen kein Erfolg. Zuletzt habe ich die Reifezeit um drei Stunden erhöht. Das Ergebnis war null.

Duftet herrlich nach Rose beim einrühren. Es bleibt nachher ein ganz leichter Geschmack davon übrig. Habe den Joghurt im sous vide gemacht. 42 Grad für 10 Stunden. Der Joghurt ist leicht säuerlich und erinnert an Dickmilch. Beim nächsten Mal werde ich inulin dazu geben und schauen ob er dann stichfest wird. Beim übernächsten Mal lasse ich ihn für 12 Stunden bei 43 Grad im Gerät. Aber mir gefällt es auch so, der Geschmack ist top und ich werde die Starter Kulturen definitiv wieder kaufen.

One review states this product is not Lactobacillus Bulgaricus and that they wasted a lot of milk with it. I thought I'd contribute that I've been buying this exact product, in its old packaging and its new format, for 10 years and always made delicious yoghurt successfully. This contains only two strains, which are the two I look for: Lactobacillus Bulgaricus and Streptococcus Thermophilus. Highly recommended:)
