From past to present, a healthy legacy
Once upon a time, 1,100 years ago in fact, Nordic settlers began arriving in Iceland. They brought with them the skills and knowledge for producing the protein-rich food made of milk they called skyr. Skyr-making methods were passed on, typically from mother to daughter for generations. Over the centuries, Icelandic skyr became a cornerstone of the national diet, helping to keep people strong in living conditions that were often harsh.
