The Icelandic Milk and Skyr Corporation was founded in 2004 by Siggi Hilmarsson, who had moved from Iceland to the US. Its range of skyr yogurt products, marketed under the Siggi’s brand, are sold in retailers such as Kroger and Whole Foods Market.
The low-fat, high-protein skyr style of yoghurt originated in Norway and was taken to Iceland over 1,000 years ago, although it has become a product more linked to the island nation.
The Icelandic Milk and Skyr Corporation – like other skyr makers – highlights the low fat, low-calorie nature of the product and has grown quickly with the support of health-conscious consumers.
