The world is a little bit crazy right now, so sit back and enjoy some fermentation jokes! If you don't like fermentation jokes, miso sorry ;)

When most people think of yogurt, they think of thermophilic yogurt. This is the generally the yogurt you will find in the store or supermarket. Mesophilic yogurt is a yogurt that is fermented at room temperature (65-80 degrees) vs 115 degrees for thermophilic yogurt. That is why it is considered a ‘room temperature yogurt’.

Filmjölk is very popular in the Nordic region, especially in Sweden. Its traditionally consumed at breakfast in place of milk. It's typically mixed with cereal or muesli / granola.

All cultures have an amazing ability to adapt to their environment. Milk kefir naturally does very well in the colder months, but the other cultures can adapt quite well as well. Surprisingly, the cold is not the biggest obstacle to good fermentation, but rather its the fluctuation of temperatures.
