Re: [NN]how do you get yogurt cream?

[Guest guest]

Anyone familiar with Brown Cow yogurt with the cream top? Is it possible to

make yogurt with cream so you only get the cream and not just a cream top?

My kids only eat the tops of those.

Never tried it but don't see why not. Brown Cow is my favorite even though

they don't pasture IIRC. Have the best yogurt results using Brown cow for

the culture too. There's a Greek yogurt at Trader Joe's that is awesome.

Haven't tried that culture. Also noticed Bread & Circus has water buffalo

milk yogurt. Almost remember water buffalo having highest butterfat or

something else highest. Anyone remember this?

*grins* Sure, it's called sour cream!

I know someone who was experimenting with it and was kinda surprised

that she got sour cream by making yogurt with cream. Not something

you usually think about.

Wanita,

Water buffalo and sheep yogurts are high in butterfat. Which is

richer? It would depend on the animals it comes from. I have heard

of buffalos, which produce milk with 6% milkfat (very, very low) and

sheep with 12%. My experience with yogurt made from sheep and

buffalo milks is from Bulgaria. The commercially produced yogurt

from these animals was rich but the homemade versions are a lot

richer. It comes from the different breeds animals used by the small

individual and the larger farms. We had water buffalo, sheep, cow

and goats. I have eaten yogurt made from all these milks alone or in

different combinations. The richest milk was the buffalo's. Eating

the yogurt was like eating cultured cream.

I make " kefir cream " ... mix 1/2 cup of kefir (or less, even) with a quart

of cream and let it sit out for a day or two. I use kefiili

so it isn't very sour. Everyone loves it, they put it on tacos

etc. But you can add jam or honey or whatever to it and you

get " creamy yogurt " . Also it makes great ice cream.

oh, that sounds like a great idea, esp. mixed with some jam or honey.

Hi Marieta!

But at around 22% reindeer yogurt is still the blow-out winner!

(Well, there's bear yogurt around 30%, but I don't think that's

really an option!)

I can't recommend Brown Cow, unfortunately, as they use bifidus and other

non-yoghurt organisms in making their yoghurt, but you can make either

yoghurt cream (as some people call it) out of pure yoghurt or a very rich

yoghurt (as I make) by mixing equal portions of milk and heavy cream.

Cool, i'm going to try that saturday when i get my next batch of raw milk

(there is heavy competition for the uses of the raw cream!). I will report

back what happens and whether it passes the very picky preschooler test.
