Icelandic cheese (SKYR) recipe dates back a thousand years
ÍSEY SKYR'S STORY
1,100 years ago, Norse settlers began arriving in Iceland. They brought with them the techniques and knowledge for making Icelandic cheese (skyr). Over time, the recipe and method for making this nutritious food gradually disappeared from the rest of Northern Europe. Fortunately, the tradition of skyr-making continues to this day.
For centuries, Icelandic cheese (Skyr) has been an essential part of the national diet, often helping people stay healthy despite harsh living conditions. On family farms across the country, women cultivate this dairy product, passing down the recipe and most traditional Icelandic skyr-making techniques from mother to daughter.
Ísey Skyr builds on this remarkable legacy. Nearly 90 years ago, these women inherited their mother's expertise and passed it on to Icelandic dairy scientists to create the art of making Icelandic cheese (Skyr). Today's production process is more high-tech, and the quality standards are even stricter. However, the traditional recipe and the use of original, pure Icelandic bacteria to ferment skim milk remain unchanged. Ísey Skyr is rich in protein, naturally low in fat, and has a rich, creamy flavor.
