My family loves this yogurt. We use local dairy pasteurized milk. I typically just mix some jelly and chia seeds into it and my family loves it. Super easy to reuse. And I absolutely love that’s its a room temp culture. Thanks! -Kim

Product Q&A
Q. Should I allow my milk to reach room tempature before adding the culture or just put it in the cold milk?
A. It is best if you let the milk reach room temperature before adding the culture, but it won’t damage the culture to add the culture to cold milk.
Q. Could this starter be used with goat milk to make yogurt? I love the idea of it working at room temp. Thanks!
A. Absolutely. It’s one of the many delicious things you can make with goat milk.
Q. Will this work for non dairy milks like coconut, soy or almond milk? If so, any special procedures needed? Thanks!
A. You can use viili starter with non-dairy milks, but it is unlikely to reculture as the non-dairy milks will not nourish the bacteria.
Each week, you will need to make a pasteurized dairy mother culture from which to make non-dairy milk yogurts. See here for detailed information, specifically the mesophilic culture section: http://ift.tt/1Nvz5qf
