Viili is a cultured milk product with origins from Finland. This Viili starter came from Finland and is almost a century old and is still going strong! As with Fil Mjölk, no special incubators or sterile jars are needed. Just put the starter into a clean bowl, add pasteurized milk (whole, low-fat, nonfat, half 'n half), mix and leave at moderate room temperature for about 24 hours until it "sets". Very easy to make and keep! The flavor is mild, not tart, and it forms a creamy, thick honey-like texture. Each culture becomes the starter for the next so make sure to save some for your next batch. Use soymilk, plain or flavored, and dairy viili culture for a virtually dairy-free soy drink. We recommend making your soy viili in a different container than your dairy viili to keep a pure culture. You can also make viili cream cheese, plain or with fresh herbs. Ships out on Mondays and Tuesdays only. 5 to 7 day handling time for our cultured products
