CHOICE OF INGREDIENTS FOR YOGURT
Milk
What milk should you use?
All our recipes (unless otherwise stated) are prepared using cow's milk. You
can use plant milk such as soy milk for example as well as sheep or goat's
milk but, in this case, the firmness of the yogurt may vary depending on
the milk used. Raw milk or long-life milks and all the milks described below
are suitable for your appliance:
• Long-life sterilized milk: UHT whole milk results in firmer yogurt. Using
semi-skimmed milk will result in less firm yogurt. However, you can use
semi-skimmed milk and add one or two tablespoons of powdered milk.
• Pasteurized milk: this milk gives a more creamy yogurt with a little bit
of skin on the top.
• Raw milk (farm milk): this must be boiled. It is also recommended to
let it boil for a long time. It would be dangerous to use this milk without
boiling it. You must then leave it to cool before using it in your appliance.
Culturing using yogurt prepared with raw milk is not recommended.
• Powdered milk: using powdered milk will result in very creamy yogurt.
Follow the instructions on the manufacturer's box.
Choose a whole milk, preferably long-life UHT.
Raw (fresh) or unpasteurized milk must be boiled then cooled and
needs the skin removing.
