Thor's Skyr

Thor's Skyr is an Icelandic-style high-protein skyr made in the US from cultured whole milk, known for its affiliation with the 'strength and physical culture' lore.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Based on a 1,000-year-old Icelandic recipe,^[4] it is manufactured through multiple ultra-filtrations of milk, taking four cups of milk to produce one cup of the base product.^[5] The result is extra thick and smooth in texture,^[6] high in slow-releasing casein protein and probiotics, and low in lactose.^[1]

Founded in 2020 by Unnar Helgi Daníelsson, Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, Dylan Sprouse and Terry Crews,^[7]^[8] Thor's Skyr is manufactured in Pennsylvania, United States^[9] and comes in four varieties.
