CHOICE OF INGREDIENTS FOR YOGURT
Milk
What milk should you use?
All our recipes (unless otherwise stipulated) use cow’s milk. You can also
use plant-based milk such as soya or other animal milks including sheep
and goat but just note that in these cases, the firmness of the yogurt may
vary depending on the milk that is used. Raw milk or long-life milks, as well
as all the other milks listed below are suitable for your appliance:
• Long-life sterilized milk: UHT whole milk results in firmer yogurt. Using
semi-skimmed milk results in less firm yogurt. However, you can use
semi-skimmed milk and add one or two pots of powdered milk to even
out the consistency.
• Pasteurized milk: this milk produces more of a creamy yogurt with a
little bit of skin on the top.
• Raw milk (farm milk): this must be boiled. It’s also recommended
that you let it boil for a long time. It would be dangerous to use this
milk without boiling it. You must then leave it to cool before using it in
your appliance. Culturing using yogurt prepared with raw milk is not
recommended.
• Powdered milk: using powdered milk results in very creamy yogurt.
Follow the instructions on the manufacturer’s box.
• Choose a whole milk, preferably long-life UHT.
• Raw (fresh) or pasteurized milk must be boiled, then cooled and
needs the skin to be removed.

EN
The ferment
This is made either from:
• Store-bought natural yogurt with the longest expiry date possible, and
therefore, your yogurt will contain a more active ferment for a firmer
yogurt.
• A freeze-dried ferment. In this case, follow the activation time specified
on the ferment instructions. You can find these ferments in supermarkets,
pharmacies and certain health stores.
• One of your recently prepared yogurts. This must be natural and
recently prepared. This is called culturing. After five culturing processes,
the used yogurt loses active ferments and therefore risks giving you a
less firm consistency. You then need to start again using a store-bought
yogurt or freeze-dried ferment.
If you boil the milk, wait until it reaches room temperature before
adding the ferment.
If the heat is too high, you can destroy the properties of your ferment
Fermentation time
• Your yogurt needs between 6 and 12 hours of fermentation, depending
on the basic
• Once the yogurt cooking process is finished, the yogurt should be placed
in a refrigerator for at least 4 hours and can be kept for a maximum of
7 days.
