After the Greek wave, the dairy companies seem to have thought of a new gimmick: Icelandic-style yogurt. I have seen the ads for it here in Canada but I haven't seen if for sale yet. Has anyone tried it? It looks like it's a very thick plain yogurt, with no sugar added.

Skyr is one popular brand that I've gotten. I actually prefer it to Greek yogurt and its loaded with protein and has fewer garbage additives like your other conventional yogurts do.
I'll be in Iceland two weeks from now so I'll be going right to the source.

I haven't seen it advertised, or noticed it in the markets. I'll look for Skyr, and try it. Klaw, please report anything that you learn.

Very rich and velvety. Never had anything like it since.

As the true adventurer I like to be, both with outdoor pursuits and with culinary exploration, I am definitely going to try hakarl. I'm not expecting to enjoy it, but I'll definitely give it a go.

But the cows are grazed on pristine grasslands which gives it its quality and flavor. Hopefully nothing has changed since I was there during the "Cold War" lol.

I'll be keeping my eyes open for Icelandic yogurt. I am used now to thick, plain yogurt to a point that I can't believe I used to enjoy the sugary nearly liquid artificially-flavoured stuff that went by the same name twenty years ago.
Have fun in Iceland. That is high on my list of places to go. Are you planning on chasing the Northern Lights?

That's my main reason for going. We're spending about 24 hours in Reyjkjavic, then we rent a car and head over to Skaftafell for some mountain hiking and time in the national park (the name of which I can neither pronounce nor spell). From there, we're spending about 2 days in Vik, rented a sick house just outside the town on a remote beachfront where I imagine we should be able to see the Northern Lights pretty clearly, assuming they're out. Very excited, it looks like such a beautiful place.

Loblaws has been selling Skyr under the president's choice brand for at least 2 years.

The HEALTHIEST (BUT probably NOT the tastiest) IS Bulgarian, afaIk. The TASTIEST IS Australian OR copying from them (like Noosa Yoghurt).

Peruvian yogurt is all the rage around here.

Real Greek yogurt is at least 6% fat (closer to 9% and more) and has approximately three ingredients. None of the ingredients is gelatin or milk powder.
Anything 0% is not Greek yogurt.
