Thor's Skyr is an Icelandic-style high-protein skyr made in the US from cultured whole milk, known for its affiliation with the 'strength and physical culture' lore.[1][2][3]

Based on a 1,000 years old Icelandic recipe,[4] it is manufactured through multiple ultrafilteration of milk, taking four cups of milk to produce one cup of the base product.[5] The result is extra thick and smooth in texture,[6] high in slow-releasing casein protein and probiotics, and low in milk sugar lactose.[1]

Founded in 2020 by Unnar Helgi Daníelsson, Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, Dylan Sprouse and Terry Crews,[7][8] Thor's Skyr is manufactured in Pennsylvania, United States[9] and comes in four different varieties.
