The Story Behind It

The Tale of Skyr with Berries

Skyr, a thick, tangy dairy product similar to strained yogurt, has been made in Iceland since the island's Norse settlement over a thousand years ago, with recipes carried by early Scandinavian settlers. Traditionally eaten with cream, sugar, and berries, it remains one of Iceland's oldest and most enduring foods.
