Original Heilroom Yogurt Culture Filmjölk

FILMJOLK YOGURT CULTURE Filmjölk is a mesophilic yogurt which means that you can ferment the yogurt at room temperature. Which means no heating required, which makes it a lot easier and convenient. Filmjölk is quite popular in the Nordic region, especially Sweden. It’s a mild buttery yogurt. It’s not quite as thick as most store bought yogurt or even home made viili. It’s consistency is somewhere between spoon-able and drinkable, so you can enjoy it either way. Traditionally its mixed with cereal or muesli / granola or fruit. It’s not overly tart, so its able to complement the cereal instead of overpowering it.  And of course, it good enough to be eaten alone. The dominate strains of Filmjölk are Lactococcus lactis, Lactococcus lactis cremoris, Lactococcus lactis diacetylactis, Leuconostoc mesenteroides cremoris. The Filmjölk yogurt making process produces Diacetyl which is an organic compound known for its intense buttery flavor. That buttery flavor is what makes Filmjölk so unique.
