Skyr: Iceland's Best Kept Secret (the country, not the shop)
Skyr is a 100% natural dairy product that is currently going down a storm in the states having been popular in Iceland for many years. With a texture described as being "somewhere between ice cream, yoghurt and cheese", it’s a little pot of goodness that is made on small holdings from the milk of very happy Icelandic Cows.
Skyr is absolutely bursting with calcium, and if you're not sure how to eat it, there are some inspiring recipes here. What's more, it comes in recyclable packaging and since Iceland has no factory farming, you can be sure it's produced in a sustainable way. The milk is produced on family farms, the average farms keeping 35 cows, which are fed mostly on the grass harvested during summer and some added feed, with no antibiotics and there are no animal trace in the feed.
