Japanese Caspian Sea | Heirloom Mesophilic Yogurt Starter Culture | 2 Pack

The Japanese Caspian Sea Heirloom Mesophilic Yogurt Starter Culture has garnered a mixed reception among customers, with a notable emphasis on its limitations as a starter for home yogurt production. Many users have reported that the culture yields only a small quantity—roughly half a cup for the initial batch—requiring additional packs for those wanting to create larger amounts. The propagation process has also raised concerns, with users experiencing failures after just a few batches, leading to frustration and dissatisfaction. Additionally, customers have expressed disappointment regarding the clarity and helpfulness of the provided instructions, which some found vague and uninviting. This seemed to contribute to challenges in achieving the desired yogurt Consistency, often ending in overly watery results. Notably, while the culture has succeeded in producing yogurt, several reviewers stated that it did not match the specific characteristics of authentic Japanese Caspian Sea yogurt, particularly the expected ropey texture, resulting in disappointment among those seeking a traditional experience. In summary, while the product shows some capability in yogurt making, the execution and end results have left many customers wanting, particularly those familiar with the authentic Japanese Caspian Sea yogurt. **
