Skyr is an Icelandic-style yogurt which is very rich.  The whey is strained to make a thick yogurt which is very high in protein and low in fat and sugar (it's made from skim milk).  Siggi Hilmarsson, originally from Iceland, makes Siggi's skyr in New York.  

Here on the West Coast, you can find skyr at Whole Foods, Sprouts, Gelsons, Bristol Farms, New Seasons, and Central Market.
