  • Skyr is made by adding bacteria cultures to skim milk and then straining it to remove the whey.
  • Skyr is a naturally fat-free product.
  • Sometimes cream is added during processing, which accounts for the minimal fat content in some varieties.

  • Probiotics in skyr support normal bowel function.
  • Skyr contains less lactose than milk and is better tolerated by people with lactose intolerance.
