All Natural Yogurt Starter Ingredients: Skim milk powder, sucrose, ascorbic acid, lactic bacteria (L.Bulcaricus, S. Thermophilus, L. Acidophilus)

In the overall I like this starter. They sent me extra-firm, and it really was that, which is a bonus in my book. I let it cook a bit longer than recommended, but half an hour shouldn't be enough to make it sour. To be fair, I added zero sugar, and I usually put a couple tablespoons in each batch, so that may be the cause of the minor edge. Will add to this if adding sugar resolves that concern.

Overall very pleased with the product and firmness of the yogurt it makes.

By Volkan Akkurt: I use this to make yogurt as well as fermented drinks. Both comes out fine each time, nothing unusual. Try it.

I use the Euro Cuisine Yogurt Starter to make my yogurt with the Euro Cuisine Yogurt Maker YM100. It makes a great yogurt. My only suggestion is that you stir the culture into the milk very well, as I found it a bit difficult to dissolve. I now take some of the prepared milk into a separate container, add the culture and stir to blend extremely well, then add it back into the entire prepared milk. This assures that the culture was dissolved properly and gets evenly distributed.

When I bought this yogurt starter, I bought it in conjunction with the yogurt maker, which I have come to love. The starter, on the other hand, I suggest using not as the box calls for. Instead, you don't allow the milk to boil when you create the yogurt, and make sure that the yogurt culture is really dissolved when you mix it... I like the cultures okay, but I find that buying stonyfield plain organic yogurt and mixing a half a cup of that with the milk does the same thing.

This product works exactly as advertised and dissolves easily, producing somewhat tart yogurt in about 7hours. The resulting yogurt can be used as a starter if frozen and stored for later defrost. I would argue however that buying plain yogurt allows you to decide what taste you want and works just as well. If you live 50 mile from a supermarket, buy this but if you want to experiment, buy as many store yogurts as you can find and use the brand whose taste you like as a starter.
