Anybody know if it's available in Canada ?

I *love* this stuff. I eat it for dessert.

I'm obsessed with this yogurt. It's a little more expensive but worth it. The grapefruit flavor was not my favorite but the blueberry and acai are fantastic as is the ginger.

I like to replace mayo or sour cream with strained yogurt in dips or sauces. For low cal it has a great mouth feel without the fat free taste

oh and a spoonful of trader joe's pumpkin butter (40 cal/ no fat) with a bit of granola mixed into this keeps me up at night thinking about it.

I've only tried the grapefruit flavor, and I didn't like it as much as other thick yogurts I've tried. It was a little too sour/tart for me (and I love tartness), and the grapefruit flavor tasted odd.

I prefer Fage.

My husband eats it.. he's Icelandic. I am vegan, but if I wasn't I would try it!

I tried the vanilla one back in August and i loved how thick it was but it was a bit tart/bitter for my tastes. I still may try one of the fruit flavors.

@matt manfredini Ditto on the TJ's pumpkin butter in yogurt with granola. One of my favorite combinations!

I actually prefer to buy plain yogurt, and flavor it myself with good preserves if I don't have fresh or frozen fruit available.

the orange/ginger flavor is fantastic and has tiny chunks of ginger in it.

I love Siggi's but don't eat it often as it's not sold at nearby grocery stores. Fage is a staple for me...and for the first time ever I spotted the full fat version. So thick and decadent - I'm smitten!

@dahnks: If it's a little too tart try adding a bit of sugar or other sweetner of your choice. I love to add honey or a spoonfull of my favorite fruit preserves and it's soooo good. I do the same with Greek yogurt.

Actually, skyr is not a strained version of yogurt. It's technically a type of cheese (it is activated by rennet). However, its consistency is that of thick yogurt.

I love Chobani fat free Greek yogurt with honey..wonderful on fresh fruit or dried fruit compote with candied ginger. I will try the Siggi's.

I love it! I have only tried the plain, the orange ginger, and the passion fruit something. Sometimes I put some sweetish granola in it; other times a little drizzle of honey. It is so expensive (at least double the price of nay of the Greek yogurts) but so tasty! And I just have the cup at my desk and eat it all morning - breakfast and morning snack rolled into one.

Don't forget the hefty price. A 6oz cup costs $2.50. I can eat alot of brown cow for that price.

I love the thicker, greek style yogurts but sometimes they are just too thick for me. I eat my breakfast at work in front of my computer while trying to work at the same time (bad, I know but I go to work at 5:30am so I have no choce) and having to lick the roof of your mouth repeatedly is not something I like to subject my officemates to. It's great for desert but also given the price, difficult for daily consumption.

There was some on sale at Whole Foods, 2/$4, which is not exactly cheap. Brown Cow was also on sale, $.59 cents or so.

I've only tried two flavors or Siggi's Skyr but it has a mouthfeel that freaks me out! I liked the tartness but there's a "dryness" (like when a wine is super super dry -- but really intensified) that completely took me by surprise.

Does anyone else experience this? Do you enjoy it? Maybe I'm just not used to it.

I bought Siggi's to try and to see what merited the $2.79 price I see at my local natural food store. But for less cost and more quantity than that I'll be sticking to my Fage. Is it because it's imported from Iceland? I don't get it.

I've recently discovered Liberte Mediterranee yogurt from Canada, and it rocks!!!!
Very high calorie, but not too sweet, so it's worth the splurge every now & then!
So thick my spoon actually stands by itself! Yum!

$2.79! Wow.

The standard is to thin it out with a bit of sugar and some milk to a creamy-yoghurty-consistency, top it with some sugar, blueberries and cream. Yum. Too bad I'm vegan now :)

Bought it because I wanted a yogurt with a lower sugar content, but I had a pinched face for a long time after trying it: I expected it to be far less sugary-tasting than most yogurts, but I didn't expect it to be so TART!!!

My partially Icelandic dad used to eat this with hardfisskur. (Dried, salted...cod? I think.) Seems raunchy to me!

(Obviously not this brand! Just skyr.)

I've tried this stuff, and also, like dhanks, the grapefruit. I [i] hated [i] it. It was so tart and the tart seemed to stick all over my mouth... I think part of the problem was the flavor, but I disliked it enough not to want to try anymore. This is not Fage, folks... this is something else altogether.

I read a review on this previously and was really excited to try it. However, it just didn't do it for me, pricey or not. Like a few of the others here, I prefer Fage, or even Trader Joe's Greek yogurt to this.

Speaking of yoghurt... Does anyone know if there are any 96% fat free yoghurts available? We found that 4% of fat in the yoghurt to be absolutely delectable when we were in Australia, but haven't been able to find it here in the states...

I came to post what !'s already said. Skyr isn't yogurt, it's just the closest comparison (and is eaten for breakfast, and weirds out Americans). The yogurt comparison sets people up not to like it though, I think, because people expect super sweet super mild dessert yogurt and not... skyr.

This stuff is intense. I've been known to use one small tub for three breakfasts, I toss cut fruit into it with crushed walnuts, almonds or seeds. Super filling.

Yum! I haven't noticed this at the market before but I'll give it a try.... I ain't skyrd! :)

@ bmb: ROFL!

This is usually set with rennet, so it's technically a soft cheese. It also might not be vegetarian, so if that's a concern for anyone, it's worth finding out what sort of rennet is used in the manufacture. I'm looking into making my own to give it a try, as it's not in the shops where I live and I can use vegetarian rennet. I'm keen to try it. I love me some fermented/cultured milk products. I would make a terrible vegan!

Commenters and original post: Thank you! Skyr is a new addition to our local crunchy granola mart and -- as a fan of Chobani etc. -- I've been considering giving this a shot. Now I know what to expect! :)

TOO sour!

I kind of like Skyr, but the Pomegranate and Passion Fruit version is grainy. (This is probably the same aspect of the experience which Slow Lorus described as "super dry".)

Two notes:

You can get two for $1.88 each from fresh direct here in NYC (but I understand the price may be cheaper here where it's distributed). Still pricey but not as bad as $2.79.

Also, yes -- the addition of rennet does seem to qualify this as cheese, but I believe the live and active cultures (Acidophilus, Bulgaricus, et. al.) also qualify it as yogurt. No?

I picked up the Pomegranate and Passion Fruit one at Fairway, but I could barely eat more than two spoonfuls. I'm sorry, but I can't stand it.

I also bought the Pomegranate & Passion Fruit one. I took one spoonful and logged on here immediately to make sure it hadn't soured on the shelves! Not for me but I can see why people that like tartness would like it.

Oh my God, I think this stuff is just awful. I eat Greek yogurt every day. I'd starve in Iceland if this was my only choice

I love this yogurt! I have been trying to reduce my sugar intake and it has been so hard to find a yogurt with low sugar that is not artificially sweetened. I like that Siggi's is tart and thick, and super-filling. So, yeah, it is kind of pricey compared to other yogurts, but it is way more filling, much more of a meal (the sweet yogurts are more of a dessert). The thick texture was surprising initially, but now I like it. I'll buy it as long as they make it!
