We have been making our yogurt with Natren's yogurt starter for many years and without fail! Each week we put up two one liter wire-bail jars of yogurt with airlocks to insure their probiotic culture stays intact for the long run. We have a picture of it my wife took eight years ago but I can't manage to move it out of its JPG file onto this review to show how it looks as a regular feature of our daily food regimen. (Turquoise had a stroke and I am left trying to pick up the pieces of how things on the computer work, sorry!)

This is the best tasting yogurt ever, seriously! The activation has been spot on, the simple to execute.

I tried this in a yoghurt maker as I didn't have a double saucepan. I followed the recipe as advised but after the milk cooled down, I added the Natren Yoghurt powder and then put it in the jars and in the yoghurt maker for 9 hours. Its turned out really well - its quite sour but smooth and creamy at the same time. Im eating it without any other fruits etc and like it! I will definately make this again! I was hoping that Natren would also offer a yoghurt making video or recipe for non-dairy products like soy or oat or almond milk.

I've been using this product for about two years now. My Ayurvedic practitioner told me Natren has the best quality probiotics. I can't attest to that, but I can say my yogurt comes out perfect every time. I make it about once a week with raw milk. I'm also very happy with Natren's customer service. I've called a few times with questions about making yogurt. Staff has always been friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.
Leslie T.
Natren Yoghurt Starter worked well. I drain my yoghurt to be more like Greek Yoghurt but like that this starter makes it more fluffy than my other batches made with yoghurt as a starter.
Linda H.
Makes a great, mild tasting yogurt that my family enjoys. And it's really easy to make.
Paul R.
Made a nice yogurt.
Tanya B.
My yogurt turned out perfect! The texture and the flavor are wonderful. Great addition to my breakfast.
cynthia s.
used 2 tsp with 12 c of raw milk. My husband has Lebanese taste buds, and he really liked the 'tang' like lebna
Linda H.
It's easy to use, and the starter is making a great tasting mild yogurt.
Sally N.
I was excited to use my new yogurt starter. I sterilized my instant pot as usual, let it cool, added milk and cream and warmed them on the yogurt setting, then added the starter, 2 teaspoons per 1/2 gallon. I set the timer for 10 hours. I checked the yogurt around 8 hours, and it had barely thickened. I added some of my yogurt and 3 hours later added some more. Finally after about 5 more hours the yogurt was done. The yogurt tastes good, but I was very disappointed that it did not set.
Gabriele N.
Where to begin, from Dr. Teitelbaum, to Divya Alter and ayurvedic cooking, these yogurt cultures have been so highly recommended and i am so glad i tried them. The yogurt comes out absolutely divine every single time, i don’t even need to flavor it.. Gut health has been improving significantly, thank you so much Natren!
Alexandra F.
I will tell you more after I have made a first batch of yogurt!
All best wishes to you for the holidays, and happy new year!
Alex
Jaya P.
The best yogurt starter, great for the gut and excellent taste! Easy to make as well.
Pamela G.
Consistent quality. Absolutely delicious tasting yogurt. The only yogurt starter I’ve ever used.
Anna F.
I make the most delicious yogurt with this probiotic - super light and creamy!
Sujatha M.
Love the yogurt starter. Makes really good yogurt. Thank you so much for providing this in helping us improve our health .
Bonnie A.
This is the only yogurt starter I've ever used, but I think my recommendation is still legit. My Ayurvedic practitioner told me it's the only one to use because of the high quality probiotics. I'm making and eating yogurt to improve my health so that's important. Since I learned to make yogurt with this product, I can't compare it with others. But I can say it's very easy to use and my yogurt comes out perfect every single time. I've been making yogurt frequently for two years now. It's the most delicious yogurt I've ever had. That's not bragging. It's mostly because of the farm fresh raw whole milk I'm using, but I do believe the Natren starter is a contributing factor.
Byron B.
This Bulgarian yogurt starter powder has restored in my homemade yogurt the genuine taste of plain commercial yogurt which is no longer available in my country.
Sharon C.
I love Yogurt Starter!
Patricia S.
This is the best yogurt starter I've found. I've tried many others but always go back. It's quick and easy and it makes delicious yogurt, smooth and mild.
Margie W.
makes great yogurt
Anna F.
I made yogurt for the very first time! It came out super creamy and delicious! I love making yogurt with this culture!
Steve R.
Really love this yogurt starter . I will be ordering more today
Martina T.
Have used for years and when I share my yogurt with people they love the taste and texture of it. I always tout the wonderful probiotic content, very important to me as I have an autoimmune disease. Heartily recommend
John D.
Awesome product. We enjoy making the yogurt
Christina D.
Used it in yogurt machine and worked well. Very yummy, easy to use. Strain to get the consistency you want.
Amanda V.
My children absolutely devour this by the gallon a week. They sleep more soundly I’m grateful.
Charles S.
Packaged well beyond my expectations. The best yogurt starter. Accept no substitute.
Kenneth T.
My wife and I have been using the probiotics for years. We recently purchased the yogurt starter. We are very pleased with the ease of use and additional benefits from eating healthy home yogurt. Delicious!!
Martina T.
I wouldn’t buy any other yogurt starter and I would never waste my money on an OTC brand because I know they have few actual probiotics. I share my yogurt with friends who always compliment it and I am quick to remind them what wonderful things it is doing for their gut. The taste is a little tarter than store bought brands but easily sweetened with honey if desired and I love blueberries and granola on mine. Love the product
carol p.
Natren Is the ONLY Yogurt starter you ever need! It was recommended by my doctor and we love it! Making yogurt is much easier than I thought - my family AND our dog LOVE this product!
Emilie W.
For years I have been making and enjoying homemade yogurt. The probiotics are provided by Nature via USPS. I like to tell friends about the excellent strain combination known to me as "the King of Bulgaria's" original yogurt. It is good! What I have learned to do to make the 4% milk yogurt thicker by leaving the hot milk on the stove and covered for at least a half an hour before testing temperature and adding the Natren probiotic powder.
Sidney G.
Made really great yogurt for me. Thanks
Donna K.
Great product, works very well in making my own yogurt. The yogurt strains are easy on the colon and are helping my body to function better. The product is shipped quickly and packaged well.
Claudine P.
Makes the tastiest yogurt!
Thomas C.
Easy to use and produces fantastic yogurt!
Judith J.
I made perfect yogurt the very first time I tried to make yogurt. I was shocked -- and very impressed.
Steven R.
My wife and I have been taking Healthy Trinity for a few years. We also have made our own yogurt. A friend told us that every time we use the last batch of yogurt as a starter for the new batch, the active agents in the yogurt die. And that Natren's yogurt starter is full of active bacteria, so we got some. It's true. It tastes really good and just alive in a way the old yogurt wasn't.
Katelyn E.
I enjoy this product because of its high quality :) The customer service is always helpful, too.
Gareth H.
I love this starter. I have used it to make yogurt, yogurt butter, and finally ghee. Awesome product!
Laura S.
This yogurt starter is amazing and makes the smoothest, most delicious yogurt. I was able to make several batches from one bottle. It’s my go-to starter for yogurt. I won’t shop anywhere else.
Patricia S.
If you want to make yogurt with live cultures, this is your best bet for success. I highly recommend it.
Jael W.
Great yogurt starter, really good for my gut health.
Jan E.
My best tasting yogurt uses the Natren starter. The yogurt gets complimented by my friends and is easy to make, maybe only ten minutes, then I let it incubate for ten hours. The jar usually lasts 6 months or more making (7) six ounce servings each week.
Joy D.
I have never had a batch of yogurt not turn out! The flavor & texture is amazing, & it’s way healthier than store bought alternatives! Highly recommend!
Charlene P.
I learned how to make homemade yogurt. I couldn’t believe how easy it is to make!! Of course using this wonderful yogurt starter makes all the difference. I will never buy store bought yogurt again there is no comparison in taste! Know what you are eating make your own.
Audrey H.
Been using Natren yogurt starter for years and never had a batch that didn't make yogurt. Bought an extra bottle for my neighbor as they wanted to start making their own. Just wish the shipping was cheaper.
carol p.
We love the yogurt starter. It’s really been a life changer. The Customer service is exceptional.
Lidia N.
We love to make homemade yogurt. My husband and children enjoy eating it with fruit and seeds. It’s very healthy and delicious!
Ralph P.
It makes great tasting and very healthy yogurt. We make it using raw milk and it's delicious! We've been using this product for many years and will be in the future.
Kassandra P.
We have made both goat milk and cows milk yogurt and we LOVE it. It's very easy and extremely yummy.
We're happy that it's live cultures added into organic milk and nothing else. Great product!
Lidia N.
Love making homemade yogurt! My family enjoys eating yogurt with fresh berries.
Diana B W.
This is a wonderful product and works very well. The yogurt tastes delicious!
Syama M.
I made my first batch of yogurt and it came out great using natren yogurt starter. I’m excited to know of all the probiotic benefit I am using to make for my family.
Emilie W.
I love homemade yogurt. Over many years I have improved my yogurt-making using the most excellent and delicious Natren yogurt starter probiotic refrigerated powder. With it I use organic whole milk, a thermometer, I let my milk remain hot for longer before cooling the pot rapidly in water, and then the yogurt ferments for a full 24 hours. This yogurt is thicker, richer in probiotics, and more delicious.
Wonsun Y.
This starter is awesome. Helps me calculate the ratio of the total amount of starters
Kathryn N.
Our entire family likes yogurt. I decided to make our own and keep the cheap ingredients out. Yum!
Charlene P.
I love making yogurt. It has been a great experience. Homemade yogurt taste so much better! Get Natren starter!
chris H.
Never fails. Every batch turns out perfect. We have been using Natren

Landis S.
Makes the yummiest yogurt I’ve ever tasted and makes me feel healthy and energetic!
Sandra R.
Love these products!
Laura S.
Amazing product! I just started making my own yogurt at home and LOVE LOVE LOVE Natren's Yogurt Starter. It arrived very quickly after ordering online in a secure, cold-encased box to ensure quality. The yogurt is thick, creamy, and has a most wonderful tart flavor that far-outshines anything you'd buy in a store. And it's so much healthier thanks to the billions of happy little live bacteria living it up in this starter. I'd highly recommend you introduce your gut to Natren's brand. It'll love you for it.
Emma W.
I've been making my own yogurt since the 70's and have found Natren to produce smooth and creamy tasty yogurt. It dissolves quickly in the heated milk.
Sheila A.
I’ve used a number of yogurt starter. Natren is the best by far.
Bradley L.
The yogurt turned out really well after my first experience trying to make it. It's so nice to know exactly what is going into the yogurt I'm eating!
Denise M.
This makes the tastiest yogurt. I've used it for years.
Jill C.
The yogurt starter was recommended by my Ayurvedic doctor and my Ayurvedic nutritionist. It makes great yogurt very easily that is much more healthy and making yogurt from a store-bought starter. I totally recommend it to anyone that wants to have the best healthy yogurt. Namaste
Melanie K.
Love making yoghurt with Natren’s yoghurt starter! I also make cultured butter from cream with it!! Glad I came across this product!
Jacqueline C.
I buy raw milk to make my yogurt and Natren yogurt starter to make it the healthiest yogurt it can be!
Dennis M.
I grew up eating Laban (yogurt), the starter was some of the Laban batch. If the starter was no good or you forgot to save some, all you did was go to a relatives house. Well all the Older members are now long gone. I tried this starter and taste the same as when I was a small boy.
Elizabeth S.
We have been using Natreen Yogurt Starter for almost 10 years . Used to get it from Lori's Health Food in Rochester. It was only by the Label on the bottle we were able to source it direct. It is as we tell others it is Greek yogurt without the sugar. We use a pasteurized but not homogenized milk to get butter fat in the yogurt. Great product and worth every penny.
Barbara D.
still experimenting with it
Jennie C.
I have been using Natren starter now for quite a few years and i can see what a difference it has made in my life. I understand now that if I keep my gut healthy then everything else works well and I stay healthy and all I can do is recommend that everyone takes Natren yogurt starter all their lives as our modern day lives make it challenging to stay well
sam a.
Great product that I’ve been using for years. One teaspoon yields a gallon of yogurt using my recipe. Product stable to at least the use by date. Have never had any failures to grow cultures.
Maria H.
Great yogurt starter and makes a great tasting yogurt.
Sheila A.
I have tried a number of other yogurt starters, but this one is ‘hands down’ the best. I make at least two batches of yogurt per week, and we love, LOVE, LOVE Natren.
Elizabeth S.
We have used Natreen Bulgarian Starter for 10 years and it makes a great Yogurt. I use pasteurized but not homogenized whole milk and get a great butter top when cured. I always say we get Greek Yogurt without the sugar. I tested sugar content and it only has 2% sugar in 6 oz. . I could not figure out how to send a picture or video
Ernesto R.
Very good starter
Cindy B.
Best yogurt I ever tasted in my life!! I do a 24 hour culture and it’s divine tasting and so healthy!
Jolanta K.
I absolutely adore the taste of yogurt I make using Natren yogurt starter . It’s fresh , tangy , delicate taste not like any other store- bought brands .
Amanda .
I use it with my goats milk to make amazing yogurt. Best I have ever had!
emma a.
I have used this product for several years, and I feel that it's absolutely instrumental for my present stellar health,
Jay glen
I have tried several other companies yogurt, and this is the best by far. Some did not work at all. Some were watery. Don’t waist your money. Use batten.

This is the best yogurt starter I have found. We have dairy goats and I regularly make yogurt from their milk. This is the only starter that makes great consistency yogurt without me having to heat up the milk and cool it again. I use milk straight from the goat and also a few days old kept in the fridge. I just mix it in and pour into jars then stick them in my oven on bread proof (approx. 110 F). I leave it in for about 12 to 18 hours and voila! It's more runny than store bought yogurt, but my whole family loves it. I sometimes drain it in very fine cheese cloth and make yogurt cheese (German Quark). There is nothing else like it. Use in place of cream cheese, or sour cream. A little goes a long way, as I can use already made yogurt to make another batch once, so I get twice the yogurt out of the starter. I hope this will always be available here! Thanks!
Diana
Found this bottle in my fridge with just enough to make one batch. Expiration date 2009. (Haven't made yogurt in awhile) Figured I could give it a try and this morning there is a half gallon of delicious yogurt in my fridge! Ordering another bottle now and won't wait so long to finish it.
Emma C
I've used this off and on for over 10 years -- alternating with another brand that's similar. Natren consistently produces a wonderful yogurt. I also use it because I'm sensitive to the bifid bacteria. This is one of the few starters without bifids.
Turquoise
I have been using Natren's Yogurt Starter for over 10 years. I follow the instructions on their bottle & the results are yogurt nirvana. Creamy, tart & yet sweetly tasting of the purest yogurt ever. I use raw, A-2 Jersey milk freshly milked & make 2 liters once a week. I use a Probiotic Fermenting Jar & use the TSM Dehydrator for incubating each batch. Perfect every single time!! I urge any & all to use Natren's.
Cynthia Hall
I am long overdue to post a review for this product. I have a dairy goat and have been using this starter for well over a year to make yogurt. I do exactly what they say in the instructions on this site and have had excellent results....thick, creamy wonderful tasting goats milk yogurt every time. I do a 24 hour ferment in airlock (pickl-it system) jars in my dehydrator. I don’t ever want to be without Natrens starter culture for my yogurt!!!! Thank you for a fantastic product to help my gut issues
