What is yoghurt?

Yoghurt, aka yogurt, is the best-known fermented milk in the world. It is obtained by the fermentation of milk produced by two lactic bacteria that act in symbiosis: Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. Vegan yogurt ferment is the result of a meticulous selection of bacteria produced in non-dairy milk that are most suitable to obtain a soy yoghurt with a creamy texture and a traditional flavor in a totally natural way.

Yogurt with probiotic bacteria 

Yogurt is a healthy and nutritious food consumed around the world. Though it’s traditionally made from cow’s milk, vegan versions use nondairy plant sources like almonds, soy, coconuts, peas, or cashews. Notably, most vegan yogurts include live active cultures, which are probiotics — or beneficial gut bacteria — that support healthy digestion

Activating your vegan yoghurt starter culture with soy milk

1. Slowly heat a glass non dairy milk to 90 ° C while stirring.
2. Remove the milk from the heat, pour into a clean jar and let cool to 43 ° C.
3. Add the starter and mix well.
4. Close the jar and let it ferment at room temperature until set.
5. It usually takes about 6-8 hours, but can take up to 12 hours to set.
6. Allow the yoghurt to cool down for at least another 6 hours in the refrigerator.
7. You can now eat this 1 L batch yoghurt directly, and leave a spoonfull for the next batch, but it’s recommended to freeze it ice cube bags as a ‘mother starter’. Each ice cube can be used as a starter for a liter of milk

Tip: making vegan yoghurt with other vegan milk

In vegetable drinks such as soy, the texture of the resulting yogurt is creamy, like that of a traditional yogurt. In the case of other vegetable milks such as oatmeal, rice or almondmilk you will need thickeners such as tapioca starch to thicken the milk before you ferment it. Heat your milk with about 3-5 % tapioca starch while stirring and bring to a boil, then cool down to around 43 degrees and add the starter culture.
