WHERE IS SKYR FROM?

Skyr originates from the beautiful, scenic country of Iceland – frequently cited as one of the happiest and healthiest nations in the world.

In fact, this yogurt has been a central facet of the Icelandic diet and lifestyle for more than a thousand years.

Skyr can trace its history all the way back to early medieval times, when it was enjoyed by the Vikings. It is even mentioned in some of the epic literary sagas of the time.

So beloved was Skyr, that the recipe was handed down over centuries through generation after generation of families, finally coming to the attention of the wider world in recent years.

BALANCE IS THE KEY

While its journey to global renown may have been as glacial as the stunning local landscape, the people of Iceland have long celebrated Skyr’s virtues.

The culture there is relaxed, yet resilient, healthy and in touch with nature, yet appreciative of good quality, creative and positive, but understanding of the value of convenience.

Balance is the key to a healthy, happy and mindful life – and Icelanders understands that more than most. The fact that Skyr has remained at the heart of their lifestyle for so long is no coincidence.

Arla Skyr Icelandic style yogurt began life in 2015 and we produce it because we wholeheartedly believe in those values of healthy eating, quality nutrition and the importance of a well-rounded, positive approach to life.
