Originating from Iceland, skyr is similar to yoghurt but thicker and naturally zero per cent fat. It is rich in calcium, has a low sugar content, contains three times as much protein as yoghurt and four times as much milk, with a velvety texture. It can be used in cooking instead of cream and makes the sauce base for this chicken stroganoff.
