Viili Yogurt Culture (long version)
Viili Yogurt is a great option for yogurt lovers who don't want the hassle of fermenting yogurt at warmer temperatures.
Viili yogurt offers a thick, gel-like yogurt that kefir lovers often miss! It is often thicker than Caspian or Filmjolk yogurt. Viili yogurt is of Scandinavian descent and has been passed down through the generations. This mesophilic yogurt has a mild yoghurt flavour. As this is a fermented milk culture, it contains many live probiotics and is such an easy option for making your own yogurt without having to ferment at higher temperatures.
How to make viili yogurt?
Viili yogurt is a mesophilic culture which means it can be fermented at room temperature (20-26 degrees Celcius) with good quality dairy milk for 6-8 hours. Once it has fermented and set, it is ready to eat. Simply reserve some yogurt from your last ferment to reculture more yogurt. 1 tablespoon of viili yogurt will culture 1 cup of fresh milk at room temperature.
What do I receive in my purchase?
- 4 tablespoons of viili culture (or the equivalent dried if chosen)
- Recipe, instructions and aftersales support
****Note:
- Please use an urban address where possible.
- Live cultures are couriered out on Mondays & Tuesdays.
Milk Kefir and Viili yogurt should be kept apart. Do no mix utensils without thoroughly cleaning as these two cultures can cross very easily and require extra care in keeping separate.

I had been searching for a reliable Viili culture for quite some time and finally was referred to Amber at Symbiota. Wow and was I ever glad I was too!!
Amber answered all my questions and concerns and so I ordered some of her Viili and Kefir freeze dried culture to start. Each envelope of starter culture comes with thorough instructions and trouble shooting tips.
Amber is there to guide you as your starter comes alive and as you find just the right spot in your home, and also address any issues that comes up. She is truly aMAZing and so knowledgeable. Anyway I am on my seventh batch so far of both Viili and Kefir and both are happy and healthy as.
I have since ordered quite a number of other things to try like their ferments and hot sauce. It's clear that Symbiota takes tremendous pride in everything they make and you can feel the love put into each and every creation. Top quality and flavor all around.
We hope to be doing business with Amber and her Team for many years to come!
It does not work.
Hi Emil. We always suggest for customers to contact us for help for support. What happened that it did not work? Please contact us and we will help you getting it to work. Did you have the viili at 24 degrees? This is very important for fermentation during winter. More than happy for you to email for support. Kind regards, Amber
Especially the Raspberry and Mint soda! Yumbo!!
The dried culture worked beautifully. The live one was very warm on arrival and quite curdled so no successful. I am enjoying the dried result very much.
I'm pleased to be able to have yoghurt without buying plastic. My room temperature isn't warm enough but I'm having good results using a yoghurt maker and changing the warm water every 3 hours as someone on here recommended. To drink it, I blend half a cup yoghurt and half a cup water and 1 scoop flavoured protein powder. Yum!
