[...] eigentleg ein ost (og dermed rik på protein – 12 %), men smakar aller mest av yogurt. Den ser ut som yogurt også. Lett å like, og veldig sunn! Har nesten ikkje fett i seg heller (laga av skumma melk), lite karbohydrat (3%, betrakelig mindre enn yogurt) og på Island er den vanlig til frokost, eller som dessert (med sukker/bær).

[...] Essen / trinken Klar, kann man sicher auch anderswo. Dort gibts aber nicht solche Spezialitäten wie Skyr, Kókómjólk, Pönnukökur oder verschimmelten Fisch (mehr davon auf http://icecook.blogspot.com/).

I LOVE skyr and since we cannot buy it here in Edmonton,Alberta,I make my own using plain buttermilk. I have compared skyr made in Iceland and Arborg,Manitoba; mine tastes quite authentic. Yummmm!!

My friend and I got completely hooked on tubs of Skyr while hiking in Iceland in the summer of 2006. My advice is to try every flavour until you find your favourite ;-) So when are they going to start exporting the stuff to Ireland?
