Dose any one knows where to source good quality Yogurt cultures and

starters in Thailand?

Can order from the state Cheesemaking.com but I'm trying to minimize

the hassle involve in the importations....

Maybe you know that already but if you just want to make yogurt, you can use a scoop of bought yogurt as starter.

yeah...I gotsa Severin yogurt maker with 7 x  8oz pots and just add a teaspoon of the local yogurt to each pot, usually vanilla which is neutral tasting, add the milk then stir each pot; the yogurt maker is simply a heated base that the pots sit in fer 8hrs...turns out a treat and varies with the milk that you use...I find that Meiji full fat gives the best result...

 

 

Yolida yogurt works well as a starter, available in most supermarkets.

 

Bulgaria unsweetened will also do in a pinch.

 

You really don't need a yogurt maker in this climate. Any bowl or pot works fine. Don't need to heat anything either, just leave out in ambient temperature.

tutsi is an energy hogging fascist...soon to be nominated to the Trump cabinet with special portfolio....

 

 

All the above suggestions are fine if you want a 3rd generation yogurt and a very

mild flavor, whit using fresh cultures and starters you get first generation flavor

and depth to the finished product.....

Tutsi, please don't post any photos of your 'special portfolio' until after the New Year.

 

And yes Yolida makes a good yoghurt starter.

 

Have a great New Year everyone, take care and be safe.

How should that happen?
The milk you buy is basically dead, because pasteurised or even ESL treated.
So if you work clean during preparation you get the same cultures and culture population as in the starter.
Another example, sourdough, kefir, kombucha, you can use indefinitely to make new product

You can get some cheese making supplies at http://ThaiArtisanFoods.com
