Also noteworthy but little-known is that unprocessed milk from a farm has up to 5% fat - you can't buy milk with that much fat in a supermarket.


If you happen to be in the UK - Graham's Dairy milk (sold in supermarkets) is 5%. But you're right that 'whole milk' is 3.5% or greater, typically 3.7% for supermarket own brand. Gold top or Jersey is 5%.


I'm in Germany. "Full fat" is 3,5%, sometimes premium milk has 3,8% and I think that's the highest I have seen. When I was little, we had milk from a farm in the village and I sometimes went to fetch it.


I just add heavy cream to the milk for yogurt, has the same effect and is delicious.


In Finland they sell some small portion-bowls with a thin solidified cream layer on top. It's not yoghurt but something we Swedes call "Långfil" [1]. It has a very funny consistency, it doesn't stick to the spoon as normal youghurt and is very delicious!
