Organic Yogurt Starters – Make Yogurt Easily at Home
My.Yo organic yogurt starters are used to make yogurt and are suitable for cow’s milk, lactose-free milk and selected plant-based drinks. Depending on the starter, the result can be a mild or more traditional yogurt.
The lactic acid cultures used in our starters have been used in food production for many years. All starters are certified organic according to the EU organic regulation and contain no flavourings or preservatives.
For plant-based yogurt preparation, suitable thickeners such as agar-agar may be used. One sachet is sufficient for one litre of yogurt and can be re-cultured several times.

Who Are Our Yogurt Starters Suitable For?
Our yogurt starters work with different types of milk: cow’s milk, lactose-free milk and selected plant-based drinks. Soy drinks work particularly well. For oat, almond or coconut drinks we recommend adding agar-agar as a thickening agent. Our special Vegan starter is designed specifically for plant-based drinks. Whether you prefer classic yogurt or plant-based yogurt – we have the right starter for you.
How Productive Are the Yogurt Starters?
One sachet of My.Yo yogurt starter is enough to make 1 litre of fresh yogurt. The special feature: you can re-culture the finished yogurt up to 4 times as a starter for a new batch. This means that a single sachet can produce up to 5 litres of homemade yogurt. This is not only economical but also reduces packaging waste.
What Makes My.Yo Yogurt Starters Sustainable?
Making yogurt with My.Yo helps reduce packaging waste. Our electricity-free yogurt maker works without electricity – simply with hot water. You can avoid single-use yogurt cups by using reusable jars. Re-culturing the yogurt reduces the need for new starter sachets. All starters are produced in Germany, helping to keep transport distances short.
ORGANIC INULIN
Organic inulin is a natural dietary fibre that can be added to yogurt, muesli or juice. It comes from certified organic agriculture and is a practical addition to our yogurt starters.

Frequently Asked Questions About Yogurt Starters
What is the difference between the different yogurt starters?
Our organic yogurt starters differ in taste and characteristics:
- Mild produces creamy yogurt with very little acidity
- Bulgarian contains traditional L. bulgaricus cultures for a classic yogurt flavour
- Lacto Pro includes selected live cultures
- Vegan is designed for soy- and oat-based drinks
- Lacto Pro + Inulin also contains added dietary fibre
Which yogurt starter is right for me?
For beginners and children we recommend Mild, as it produces yogurt with very little acidity. Bulgarian is ideal if you prefer traditional yogurt flavour. If you want to use plant-based milk, choose our Vegan starter. Lacto Pro + Inulin is suitable if you would like to add dietary fibre to your yogurt.
Can I reuse my homemade yogurt as a starter?
Yes, this is possible with several of our starters. Use 2–3 tablespoons of finished yogurt for the next litre of milk. However, texture and consistency may gradually decrease after several generations. For consistent results we recommend using fresh starter regularly.
How long do the yogurt starters last?
Unopened and stored in a cool, dry place, our organic yogurt starters can be kept for several months. The exact best-before date can be found on the package. After opening, the starter should be used promptly.
How much starter do I need for 1 litre of yogurt?
In general,1 sachet of yogurt starter is used for 1 litre of milk. The exact dosage and instructions are provided on the product packaging.
Do the starters also work with plant-based milk?
Our Vegan organic yogurt starter is specially developed for plant-based drinks such as soy or oat drinks. The other starters (Mild, Bulgarian, Lacto Pro) are designed for dairy milk and work best with cow’s, goat’s or sheep’s milk.
