Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Wild & Cultured different from store-bought yogurt?
Unlike most commercial yogurt, every jar of Wild & Cultured is handcrafted in small batches and traditionally fermented for 36 hours using simple ingredients and live cultures. We believe that quality ingredients, patience, and traditional methods create a yogurt that’s truly special.
Why do you ferment your yogurt for 36 hours?
We choose a traditional 36-hour fermentation because it allows the cultures time to grow while developing the rich texture and pleasantly tangy flavor that make our yogurt unique. Good things take time, and we never rush the process.
Why does Wild & Cultured cost more than grocery store yogurt?
Our yogurt isn’t mass produced. Every jar is handcrafted in small batches, traditionally fermented for 36 hours, made fresh to order, and crafted with premium ingredients, We believe quality, time, and intention create a product worth sharing with our own families- and yours.
How much yogurt should I eat each day?
Many people enjoy about ½ cup (4 ounces) daily as part of a balanced diet. If you’re new to fermented foods, you may prefer to begin with a smaller serving and gradually increase as your body adjusts.
How should I enjoy my yogurt?
