Will be eating it for my mid morning snack tomorrow- I'm sure it probably tastes pretty similar to greek yogurt, and I've eaten a lot of that lately.
The first thing you will notice is that it is a
lot thicker than Greek yogurt. It has a consistency somewhere between Greek yogurt and cream cheese. It also tastes creamier than Greek yogurt, and IMO, fuller. It's amazing that the fat-free version tastes as rich and creamy as it does. Technically, I think skyr is closer to a cheese than a yogurt on the spectrum of dairy products. It's almost like a mascarpone.
