I've been using this starter for more than an year now and it has never failed. It contains the two bacteria that I'm looking for: L. Bulgaricus and L. Thermophilus. I am from Bulgaria and yes, the first yogurt bacteria was found in my country thus the name. I use Salton YM9 1-Quart Yogurt Maker x 4 with 1 gallon of Organic 1% or 2% milk, 1 cup of dry non-fat milk and 2 packets of this yogurt starter. After 6-7 hours - the perfect yogurt. Just make sure everything that the milk touches is clean, otherwise you will have to wait longer for the yogurt to set and it will have a stronger flavor.

Highly recommended.

2011 UPDATE:
Just wanted to say that I'm still using this starter to make the best yogurt possible. For some time they were sending a yogurtment starter which was still pretty good, but my recent batch was from the original type they had which, I think, is a little better and makes a little creamier yogurt.

Thumbs up!

So far, this is my #1 pick for a yogurt culture. I've tried others, but this one doesn't take as long to make (5 1/2 hours in the yogurt incubator). The taste is creamy and smooth -- not at all tart.

I make it using the following recipe for the Eurocuisine yogurt maker:
- 5 TB Sanalac non-fat dry milk powder (this has a great flavor and is available at many supermarkets)
- 4 TB sugar (less sugar if you don't like sweet yogurt)
- 49 oz 2% milk

Now that I make my own yogurt, I could never go back to store bought!Yogurt Starter Culture (10g) Makes 2 Litres (2.1Quarts) Brand: NutrimaxEuro Cuisine YM100 Automatic Yogurt Maker
