So, I think I have a new obsession. Skyr. It's thick, creamy, tangy and I love it. Skyr is Icelandic 'yogurt' (technically it's a cheese) that is very tangy, tangier than greek yogurt and it's actually super healthy. Made from skim milk, it's non-fat, extremely high in protein - 16g in 6oz. - and it has live active cultures. I've only ever seen it at Whole Foods and Wegmans and it's ridiculously expensive for a 'yogurt,' but it's gooooood and good for you. If you ever get the chance to try it, TRY IT!*Note - the skyr.is brand is imported from Iceland and is sweeter than siggi's, which is made in New York by an Icelander. They're both tasty, but siggi's can be a bit of a shock in comparison to traditional yogurt because of the tanginess.*

Since my adventures in Iceland (Jan- March 09) I have been obsessed with Skyr also. It took me many month of begging and pleading before I saw Skyr at my home base's (Houston,Tx) Whole Foods. I'm glad to see I'm not the only non-Icelander to love this stuff.
leave it to you to find icelandic yogurt. i'm too lazy to look up iceland's proximity to Norway...but i bet they're close. and you have a thing for norwegians....
