L Reuteri Yoghurt Starter

This is great. No aftertaste. I am using it for Soy yogurt using pure soy and tapioca starch in an instant pot for 36 hours. Is as good as any of the best yogurt you can buy for abotu 40p per pot.

I cheat and use whole sterilised milk so no boiling needed. I add a tub of double cream too. Delicious. It has been perfect either using a fresh sachet or some in of my previous batch.

One sachet makes a lovely thick yogurt. I was not aware that boiling the organic whole milk for 30 mins made the yogurt thick. I was used to bringing the milk to boiling point and then straining the cooled, finished yogurt. I’m so grateful for this valuable tip

Yes fine. But I use my own recipe

I have a valuable suggestion for enhancing the L R experience. If the mixture becomes foamy or liquidy like Kafir, simply refrigerate it for a week. It will turn to a wonderfully sweet and firm yogurt. It just requires slightly more time than the product instructions state. I highly recommend this method as a product rich in beneficial gut bacteria, I tried with Cow full fat milk and today I tried with Goat milk. Hopefully, taste lovely rich in goodness.

I purchased this starter because it was advertised as L. reuteri yogurt culture, but after receiving it I became concerned that it may not actually function as a true Lactobacillus reuteri culture. First, the ingredient list on the back shows multiple bacterial strains, with others appearing to be dominant rather than L. reuteri. This is important because typical L. reuteri yogurt fermentation is slow and usually requires a long culture time (often around 24–36 hours) for the bacteria to establish and multiply. In my case, the yogurt thickened in about 8 hours, which strongly suggests that faster yogurt-forming bacteria (such as typical yogurt starter strains) are likely doing most of the fermentation. That rapid set time is not consistent with the slow-fermenting behaviour usually associated with L. reuteri cultures. Because of this, it’s difficult to know whether the product actually provides a meaningful amount of L. reuteri, or whether it is primarily a mixed yogurt culture being marketed under that name. If you’re specifically trying to culture L. reuteri yogurt, I would recommend carefully checking the strain information and culture composition before purchasing. Based on my experience, this product did not behave like a dedicated L. reuteri starter.

Makes perfect L Reuteri ferment every time with UHT long-life whole milk.

Great
