THE first Skyr made in Scotland will be launched by Graham’s this month.
Five flavours of the high protein, fat-free Icelandic-style yoghurt will be available from mid-January: natural, lemon, strawberry, Victoria plum and passion fruit, mango and papaya from Scottish Sainsbury’s and Aldi stores. Home Bargains stores in Scotland will also stock Skyr from mid-March.
Skyr, a cultured dairy product native to Iceland, is made from skimmed milk from Graham’s 100 partners and has nutritional properties similar to Greek yoghurt.
Robert Graham, managing director of Graham’s said: “Product development is always high on our agenda. We pride ourselves on being innovative, as well as responding to the needs of our customers. We’re glad to be launching the first Skyr produced in Scotland. With our new listings in Scotland, we plan to expand our reach in the UK in the coming months and I’m excited to hear feedback from customers across the country.”

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
