The bacterial activity of live cultures produces a better tasting yogurt and can also strengthen the immune system. Although live bacteria always exist naturally in our digestive system, the addition of these live, probiotic bacteria further stimulates the immune system, keeping it tuned-up and active, and it also increases the ratio of “good” verses “bad” bacteria.

Yes, the bacteria are live and because we pasteurize the milk before adding the culture, they remain live when you purchase it. With all yogurts, the activity of bacteria decreases over time, so the fresher the better. See similar questions...

All yogurts by definition begin with milk and the living organisms Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus, which turn milk into yogurt by converting lactose (milk sugar) into lactic acid. Besides making lactose easier to digest, these and other yogurt cultures may also aid immune function, help prevent gastrointestinal infection, lower cholesterol and even reduce the risk of osteoporosis and cancer.

The amount of yogurt necessary to obtain healthy intestinal flora is going to vary from person to person. The Dairy Council of California suggests 3.5 cups a day. They arrived at the 3.5 cups figure by calculating how many live cultures are commonly present in a given amount of yogurt and subtracting from that what would be lost during passage through the stomach. Our yogurt has many times the culture count of most yogurts so you would probably not have to eat as much. See similar questions...

Yogurt, also spelled yoghurt, is a smooth, semi-solid dairy product made from milk. People all over the world have eaten yogurt for thousands of years. Yogurt makers add live, active cultures to milk to make yogurt. These cultures multiply at carefully controlled temperatures and cause milk to ferment (ripen). During the fermentation process, the cultures create the enzyme lactase, which changes lactose (milk sugar) into lactic acid. See similar questions...

Yogurt is outdated milk that has been recycled by adding certain bacteria, which are supposedly good for you. These "good" bacteria are called probiotics to distinguish them from antibiotics, which can be harmful. Actually, the distinction between "good" and "bad" bacteria is artificial; all bacteria can be harmful, and yogurt is not good for you. Fresh milk is better than spoiled milk, and we don't need foreign bacteria. See similar questions...

Yogurt is even more easily digested than milk since the cultures added to the milk pre-digest the lactose. Yes, Redwood Hill Farm yogurt contains live, active viable cultures. In addition to the cultures of lactobacillus and acidophilus, bifidus is added. See similar questions...

Our yogurt is never pasteurized. The milk we use to make our yogurt is pasteurized, by law, before the yogurt culture is added. The main consumers of milk and milk products are the very young and the very old, the two segments of the population that are the most susceptible to food born pathogens. The federal government requires pasteurization to ensure that these milk products do not transfer harmful bacteria to consumers. See similar questions...

My favorite way to eat our yogurt is right out of the jar with a little honey mixed in. You can add your favorite sweetener, fruit, nuts, use it instead of milk on granola, your favorite breakfast cereal or in smoothies.

There are many ethnic recipes from around the world that include uses with dips, spreads, lamb, rice, and cold soups. See similar questions...

I live in southern Maine (USA), about 10 miles inland, from the Atlantic Ocean. I get a mix of coastal and inland storms, or as the meteorologist have started calling them ,"winter weather events". The Coastal storms have a tendency to include sleet and freezing rain and sometimes end as plain rain, making for a heavy snow pack. Other storms are of the inland variety and include deep snow with blowing and drifting. Our average winter snowfall is 71 inches. See similar questions...
