Thor's Skyr

Three Hollywood actors and an Icelandic entrepreneur walk into?well, it wasn't a bar. It was an entire country. Terry Crews, Hafthor Julius Bjornsson, Dylan Sprouse, and Unnar Beck Danielsson all wanted to bring skyr to America that tasted like skyr in Iceland. There were already some versions of skyr available in the US, but they wanted to make the best skyr in America! Terry Crews visited Iceland to film an episode with Bear Grylls. Terry had his first taste of skyr landed in Iceland and after filming episode returned to Los Angeles with one goal: to bring Icelandic skyr to America. Hafthor Julius Bjornsson had finished filming his iconic role as "The Mountain" in HBO's Game of Thrones and recently broken the World Record for deadlift (1,104 lb!) crowning him World's Strongest Man 2019 when he set his sights on America. Hafthor would eat about 2.5 lb of skyr when he was training to break the world record and wanted Americans to have the same nutrient dense skyr he ate back at home in Iceland. Dylan Sprouse had spent his entire childhood in Hollywood starring in Disney's The Suite Life with Zack and Cody and started travelling to Iceland to explore is Nordic roots. While spending the Winter Solstice in Iceland he met Unnar Beck Danielsson, who acted as his guide around this mysterious and beautiful island in the North Atlantic Ocean. Dylan went home and began making skyr in his kitchen. The store bought skyr in the US didn't taste like the skyr he was just eating on his trip in Iceland. And then there was Unnar Beck Danielsson?an Icelandic entrepreneur whose popular restaurant had to be closed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Unnar would often recommend skyr to American tourists visiting his restaurant as a high protein lunch to take with them on their adventures around the island. Unnar could see from their reactions that they had never had anything like Icelandic skyr before and after a few weeks locked down in his apartment he decided to bring real Icelandic skyr to the United States.
