Viili
Viili (Finnish) or Fil (Swedish) is a mesophilic fermented milk product found in the Nordic countries, particularly Finland and Sweden. Viili is similar to yoghurt or kefir, but when left unmixed, its texture is malleable, or "long". The metabolism of the bacteria used in the fermentation also gives viili a slightly different taste. This cultured milk snack resembles yoghurt and is the result of microbial action of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and a surface-growing yeast-like fungus ''Geotrichum candidum'' present in milk, which forms a velvet-like surface on viili. In addition, most traditional viili cultures also contain yeast strains such as ''Kluveromyces marxianus'' and ''Pichia fermentans''. The lactic acid bacteria identified in viili include the acid‐producing '' Lactococcus lactis'' subsp. ''lactis'' and ''L. l. cremoris'' as well as the aroma producers ''L. lactis'' subsp. ''lactis'' biovar ''diacetylactis'' and '' Leuconostoc mesenteroides''. Among those mesophilic LAB ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The acid gives a sour taste and causes proteins in the milk, mainly casein, to coagulation, coagulate, thus thickening the final product. The bacteria also produce a limited amount of diacetyl, a compound with a buttery flavor, which gives its characteristic taste. has a mild and slightly acidic taste. It has a shelf-life of around 10–14 days at refrigeration temperature. Overview In the Nordic countries, is often eaten with breakfast cereal, muesli or crushed crisp bread on top.
