Skyr

Skyr is a dairy product, somewhere between a soft cheese and yogurt, native to Iceland. It has a mild flavour, closer to yogurt than cheese, and a rich creamy texture, which is surprising given that it's very low fat. And given, again, that it's very low fat and high protein, it's surprising that it hasn't been marketed outside of Iceland. Well, maybe it has, but I've never seen it.


Anyway, low fat is definitely not on my list of priorities, but traditionally Skyr is served with cream, apparently, which solves that, and that's what I did.

Iceland itself was breathtakingly beautiful, and despite having been told the climate wasn't that dissimilar to the UK, there was thick snow everywhere.

And it was very, very, cold.
