If you’re not familiar with skyr, it’s an Icelandic dairy product that lies somewhere between yogurt and cheese, depending on who you ask. It has a thick consistency and sour taste, making it totally different from traditional yogurts on the shelves. In fact, that is how Siggi’s began. 

Back in 2005, Icelandic native, Siggi Hilmarsson, found yogurts in the US too sweet for his taste and missed the skyr he grew up with. After receiving a recipe from his mother, he decided to make his own and that boomed into a full-time skyr dairy. 

Siggi’s now wants to hire someone to enjoy the “more simple life” in Iceland and document it all.

“This freelancing gig of Chief Simplicity Offi-skyr will allow someone to spend time in Iceland living and documenting a simple life during the country’s new, successful 4-day work week,” reads the advert. As part of the job, the “offi-skyr” will use photography, writing, and other means to document the experience of chasing the Northern Lights, waterfalls, glaciers, and all that Iceland’s nature has to offer. 

And if that didn’t sound fun enough—the chosen candidate will help come up with new skyr flavors based on Icelandic cuisine. All of this will be compensated up to $50,000 for work commissioned by Siggi’s as part of the gig. So why not?

Skyr is not exactly a type of yogurt. In fact, it’s much closer to fresh sour milk cheese, but the way you consume it makes it a great alternative for yogurt. It’s not a new thing; it’s been a big part of Icelandic cuisine for hundreds of years. 

Skyr is smooth and creamy, with high protein content, which is why it’s a perfect replacement for yogurt. One of the biggest differences between the two is the pasteurization process. 

How can you use skyr? In so many different ways! Add it to savory dishes, dips, salad dressings, or mix with fruits for a healthy sweet snack between two meals.
