What is Caspian Sea (also known as Matsoni) Yogurt?

Matsoni yogurt can be conveniently and easily fermented at room temperature as it is a mesophilic culture. Matsoni is less sour than regular yogurt and has subtle notes of honey permeating through. It has a consistency of custard and is in between filmjolk and viili in thickness. 

How do I make Caspian Sea yogurt?

Simply add 1 tablespoon of active yogurt starter to 1 cup of fresh dairy milk. Leave at room temperature 20-26 degrees Celsius for 6-8 hours until it has set. Once set, place in the fridge. Always reserve a tablespoon to start your next yogurt ferment. 

This culture will keep making yogurt forever, provided it is cared for correctly. 


What does my kit include:

  • +- 4 tablespoons of caspian sea starter
  • 1L Symbiota Glass Jar
  • Elasticated Cotton Top
  • Stainless Steel (no rust) lid
  • Instructions and recipe


****Note:

  • Please use an urban address where possible.
  • Live cultures are couriered out on Mondays & Tuesdays to avoid delays.

Works Every Time

My favourite culture is this yoghurt. Not only easy to make at any season but also delicious & thick yoghurt every time. We use full fat natural milk & cream and put it in our boiler over night in the winter time. Love love love this culture & had it for years.

Wrong time of year for yogurt

Unfortunately, it is the wrong time of year to make yogurt in my house as it doesn't reach 20degs C, so not getting the best results. But I have found a wee trick to help things along - don't use milk straight from the fridge, warm it to 20degs C before mixing with the yogurt, and then putting it in box with a hotwater bottle overnight

Hi Stuart. Great idea. Other options include placing it in your oven with only the light on, placing it on top of your firdge where the warm air is or in the hotwater cupboard. In winter, cultures can require a little extra tending to to keep them warm:) Kind regards, Amber

Needs Warm Weather

Need to ferment at room temp (22-24 degrees) absolutely useless and impossible to set in winter if you don't have anywhere in your house with a stable warm temp for 6-8 hours. Would not have brought if this had of been stated on the website!

Hi Abby, sorry to hear you are not happy. The website listings clearly state that the yogurts ferment between 20-26 degrees celcius. In an ideal world 22-24 degrees is your optimum.
