OKAY, THAT ALL SOUNDS GREAT BUT… WHAT ACTUALLY IS SKYR?
First of all, it’s pronounced skee-er. Like downhill skier, but with a hard R.
Arla Skyr is produced from skimmed milk, which is pasteurised, has live cultures added, and is then strained. The result is quite unlike anything else on the breakfast table: thick, creamy, and packed with protein.
