    Nordic/Scandinavian Skyr Recipes

    Skyr (pronounced skeer) is a dairy product that has been an important part of Icelandic food culture for over a thousand years. Here in the United States, it is often marketed as the Nordic answer to Greek yogurt.

    Skyr is creamy and delicious on its own, but also makes a wonderful ingredient in a variety of different dishes!  Explore this collection of sweet and savory skyr recipes such as Summer Skyr Tart with Fresh Berries and Herbed Skyr Sauce.
