The parties agreed to open a joint venture in the Icelandic city Saudarkrokur. Product that has caught the fancy of buyers from Northern Europe, the UK and the USA will soon appear on the shelves of Moscow and St. Petersburg, RIA Novosti reported with reference to representatives of the Russian Embassy in Iceland.

Skyr is a cross between sour cream and cottage cheese. The product has sour taste and thick consistency. This drink in ancient times was common in Scandinavia, but then forgot about it everywhere except Iceland. Since then, more than a thousand years skyr is considered to be an integral part of Icelandic culture.
