What Is Filmjölk?

Filmjölk is a traditional Scandinavian cultured yoghurt known for its mild tang, creamy texture and simple room-temperature fermentation.

Unlike traditional yoghurt cultures that require heating and incubation, Filmjölk is a mesophilic culture, meaning it ferments naturally at room temperature.

This makes it one of the easiest probiotic foods you can make at home.

The finished yoghurt is smooth, pourable and pleasantly mild, making it perfect for the whole family.
