What we do differently.

Regular yogurt stops short. We go the extra mile at every step.

Regular yogurt MILK

Any milk.

Corn-fed. Conventional. Additives allowed. Whatever’s cheapest.

Step 01 · SourceWhere they truck it,
we graze it.
High Culture

One California herd.

Certified organic. Grass-fed. Strong, happy cows make better milk, and better milk tastes better.

Regular yogurt

Two starters.

L. bulgaricus and S. thermophilus. Picked because they sour milk fast.

Step 02 · CultureWhere they sour it,
we power it.
High Culture

The most potent bacteria on earth.

Once in nearly every human gut. Now almost none. Picked for its health evidence.

Gut · Mouth · CholesterolEarly research: oxytocin, cortisol.
Regular yogurt

0 hours.1 million CFU per gram.

Set for texture. Culturing is often stopped at the legal minimum.

Step 03 · Ferment & countWhere they stop the clock,
we let it run.
High Culture

0 hours.0 billion CFU per serving.

Good culture takes time. We ferment six times longer, for potency. A lot of little guys in one cup.

Regular yogurt

Can be pasteurized.

Heating after culturing kills all probiotic benefit. Still legally yogurt.

Step 04 · PreserveWhere they kill it,
we chill it.
High Culture

Never pasteurized.

Always served live.

Regular yogurt

Thickened.

Starch, pectin, gums. Set without the time. 5 to 15 g protein a cup.

Step 05 · ThickenWhere they goop it,
we scoop it.
High Culture

Strained.

Strained until the spoon stands up. 20 g protein a cup.

Live the high life.

Not another supplement. A whole different culture.

Yes No Sometimes. Depends on the brand.

L. reuteri is one of the most studied bacteria on earth. Benefit findings are from trials of specific L. reuteri strains, not of this yogurt. Food, not medicine.

Welcome to the culture revolution.

“It feels like eating safety.”Brian Vaughn
“I just haven’t had an afternoon energy crash the way I have for… my entire life. My digestion feels better overall.”Sasha Chapin
“I’ve been making Caroline’s High Culture for a couple months now and it really works.”Tyler Alterman
“Yogurt-a be kidding me. This is amazing.”Victoria
Caroline Morrison, founder of High Culture, on a beach at sunset
Caroline, founderI’m patient zero.

I made this because I needed it.

A traumatic event shut my brain off. Two hours of sleep a night. $80K and 900 hours of therapy later, a veteran on Reddit told me about L. reuteri. It reset my cortisol, restored my sleep, and gave me my life back. I’ve made it every week since.

Nobody sold it. Now someone does.

Questions.

Why “High”?

It’s a culture. It’s the high point of the day. It’s not that kind of high.

Is it yogurt?

Legally no — one strain instead of the two the rules require. Practically, yes, with a spoon.

When?

A Saturday in January. You hear first, the day it’s set.

Can I cancel?

Any time before the batch is made. Full refund, no questions.

What does it taste like?

Properly tart, thick enough to stand a spoon in. Eat it with fruit and honey, or with olive oil and salt. Or plain, at the fridge.

How long does it keep?

Three to four weeks in the fridge, alive the whole time. A week once opened.

Do you ship?

Not yet. San Francisco first.

The old yogurt regime is over.

There’s no going back.
