Kerned is an old word used around our parts in Somerset. It just means ‘thickened’ but we do like to have a word for everything – anyone know what Gert lush scrumpy means? Answers on a postcard…

We don’t want to keep this secret just for local people so we’ve re-visited this old way of creating super thick and creamy yogurt to create our Super Thick yogurt.

The process starts by heating up our lovely organic milk and adding a few spoonfuls of live cultures, then we let it sit for a bit to let the live cultures grow. Next is the kerning part! We kern it using a super fine sieve to strain off the whey, and then we do it again, and again, and again, until it is wonderfully thick and delicious, it can take up to nine times! This process not only makes the yogurt thicker, it also boosts the protein and removes some of the lactose, which is the sugar found naturally in milk.
