From Milk to Yogurt: The Beginning of Amlac’s Yogurt Journey
From Milk to Yogurt: The Beginning of Amlac’s Yogurt Journey
The Beginning of Our Yogurt-Making Journey
On 21 and 22 August 2026, Amlac proudly hosted its first-ever Yogurt Demo Workshop, marking an exciting milestone in our journey to introduce the simplicity and enjoyment of homemade yogurt to more people. The workshop was created with a simple purpose — to show that making fresh, delicious yogurt at home does not require complicated equipment, special skills or a long list of ingredients. With just a few simple ingredients and everyday tools that can be easily found in the kitchen, homemade yogurt can be prepared by anyone.
Throughout the two-hour demonstration session, participants were guided through the complete yogurt-making process, from preparing the milk mixture and adding the Amlac Yogurt Starter to understanding the fermentation process. Rather than simply demonstrating the steps, the workshop also focused on helping participants understand why each step matters. Important factors that can affect the final taste, texture and consistency of yogurt were explained along the way, including temperature, preparation, incubation time and the handling of the yogurt throughout the process. By understanding these critical factors, participants could better appreciate how small differences during the process can influence whether the final yogurt turns out thicker, smoother, creamier, more sour or softer.
Everyone had the opportunity to look, feel and taste freshly prepared homemade yogurt, allowing them to experience its natural freshness and pure, creamy texture firsthand. For many participants, it was an eye-opening experience to discover that yogurt with such a fresh and satisfying taste could be made so simply at home. The tasting session also helped demonstrate the difference between freshly made homemade yogurt and the yogurt products that many of us are accustomed to purchasing from stores.
The workshop also introduced participants to the versatility of homemade yogurt, particularly Greek yogurt, which has been gaining significant attention and popularity. Participants were delighted to learn that making Greek yogurt at home can be just as simple — starting with homemade yogurt and using a straightforward straining process to achieve a thicker and creamier texture. What may initially seem like a complicated food-making process became something approachable and achievable once participants saw the process demonstrated step by step.
The response from participants made the first Amlac Yogurt Demo Workshop a truly memorable experience. Seeing their curiosity, excitement and delight throughout the session was especially rewarding for us. From learning the basics of yogurt fermentation to tasting freshly made yogurt and discovering how easily Greek yogurt can be prepared, participants were able to experience the entire journey from simple ingredients to a delicious finished product.
This first workshop represents only the beginning of Amlac’s journey in sharing the joy of homemade yogurt. We are grateful to everyone who took the time to join us, participate in the demonstration and experience homemade yogurt together with us. Most importantly, we hope that everyone left the workshop inspired to bring what they learned home and start creating their own fresh, delicious yogurt.
