Try these stores that are mentioned by these two posters, they should have the full fat as well.

As I understand it, Skyr is usually almost fat free, as part of it's manufacturing process. Whilst it is sold in UK under yoghurt, it's more like cheese, as rennet is used it it's processing. In Germany they call it Quark.
hmmm, if you want to avoid sweeteners, I'd stay away from Isey Skyr yoghurt - see ingredients list below:
Ingredients:
Skim Milk, Water, Modified Maize Starch, Flavour, Thickener (Pectin), Vanilla Pods Extracted, Sweeteners (Sucralose, Acesulfame K), Colour (Beta-Carotene), Skyr Cultures
Ingredients:
Skim Milk, Water, Modified Maize Starch, Flavour, Thickener (Pectin), Vanilla Pods Extracted, Sweeteners (Sucralose, Acesulfame K), Colour (Beta-Carotene), Skyr Cultures
The "Modified Maize Starch" is enough to put me off it, I keep to full-fat Greek yoghurt, one of the low-fat Greek yoghurts my local Aldi sells is also low carb if you look at the details on it, the other one is not.

I agree - based on the majority of those ingredients I wouldn't bother with it at all, and will stick with my full fat Greek ones.

The natural version of Skyr has no added ingredients, carb content 4g per 100g. However, it is not organic. I shall stay with Yeo Valley organic full fat Greek yoghurt at 5.3g per 100g carbs.
Lidl has full-fat greek yoghurt - 10g of fat, 5g of protein, 3g of carbs per 100g. Only thing is, it doesn't list the ingredients ... (well, from the tubs I have).

Hi Alexandra. You can purchase Skyr products at Tesco but only the plain Yogurt is 4g/100g Carbs ? Maybe the highlighted low carb ones will be available but they are not yet online.

I don't think that is the idea of Skyr as it is naturally very low or fat free. I don't think the Icelandic people would want it if it was full fat .

Each to their own I ate so much plain greek yogurt for the first few months after diagnosis if I ever eat it again it will be to soon. Now I only have a yogurt once or twice a week and it is either Skyr or a reduced sugar one like Activia
I think the ingredients don't have to be listed if it is just milk and cultures.
I always add nuts, and often bluebarries etc, so the yogurt is not plain by the time I eat it.
Their transdiational diet is very high fat, they started to get ill when they moved to a "healthly" low fat diet. I think the fat level is more to do with the grazing the cows have access to, and hence how much cream is in the milk.
