Our unique kefir starter makes thick, creamy and absolutely delicious kefir of exceptional quality with unique milder taste, creamy texture and aroma. If you like kefir then you will love Bacillus Bulgaricus kefir.

Kefir is a healthy super food, made form milk, fermented with lactic acid bacteria cultures, much like yogurt. Some experts claim that consuming kefir has even greater health benefits than those of yogurt because the kefir bacteria remains in your gut longer. One thing is certain though — drinking kefir is good for you, and now, thanks to our kefir culture, it is super tasty and delicious!

This is a reusable kefir starter with live active bacteria, which means that you can reuse kefir from your previous batch to culture your new kefir batch, multiple times. Please be aware that this packet contains kefir starter, not kefir grains.

Each pack contains loose powder mix, in perfect proportions, of a collection of bacterial strains required to make kefir, amongst which — the ubiquitous lactobacillus bulgaricus and streptococcus thermophilus.

These beneficial, transient bacteria work together in the fermentation process that turns milk into a naturally sweet, smooth, fresh-tasting, super thick kefir.

The process takes approximately 12-14 hours to complete.

Bacillus Bulgaricus kefir starter is fully natural with no additives, preservatives, artificial colors or flavors. It contains no GMO ingredients and it is gluten free.

Ingredients: Live active lactic acid cultures (lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis, lactococcus lactis ssp. cremoris, lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis biovar diacetylactis, streptococcus thermophilus, lactobacillus kefir, lactobacillus parakefir, lactobacillus delbueckii ssp. bulgaricus, saccharomyces cerevisiae) The starter contains nothing more than the strains it is made of and a very small quantity of dried organic skim milk powder. It is the medium on which the strains grow and some of it gets packaged together with them. The milk powder is completely consumed by the bacteria during incubation so there is none of it in the finished product.

Store the Bulgarian Kefir starter in the FREEZER.

Use by the date indicated on the label.

Bacillus Bulgaricus starters are shipped in sealed sachets.

Transporting the packs (i.e. shipping them to you) at ambient temperatures (even in the warmest climates) is perfectly OK and will not damage the live cultures. We use a freeze-dried process that keeps the strains alive and comfortable even during long trips in hot weather.

Once you receive your starter packs – pop them in the freezer for best storage.
