Skyr soon to be available in Japan

2018, 2018-06

MS Iceland Dairies has signed a production and branding agreement for Ísey skyr with Nippon Luna, which is owned by one of Japan’s largest fresh and frozen food companies, Nippon Ham.

This is the biggest production agreement has made to date, but Japan is the second largest yoghurt market in the world, after the United States.

Fans of the Icelandic skyr will have to wait a few months though because production facilities will have to be constructed in Japan, but the plan is for Ísey Skyr to hit the Japanese market in early 2019. The aim is to have Ísey skyr available in as many stores as possible in the next few years, but there are about 70.000 grocery stores.

French dairy firm Lactalis said on Friday it had agreed to buy siggi‘s, the U.S.-based maker of Icelandic style skyr yogurts, for an undisclosed price.

After moving to New York from Iceland, siggi’s founder Siggi Hilmarsson felt American yogurt was too sweet and artificial for his liking. He felt homesick for skyr, a sweet Icelandic yoghurt/curd concoction.

Based on a recipe sent by his mother, Siggi began making skyr and went on to establish his own company in 2005 to sell it in the United States.
