Skimmed Milk: Whole Milk Left to Stand and the Cream Skimmed Off
Before the centrifugal separator, cream was taken off by gravity: butterfat is lighter than the rest of the milk, so in milk left to stand it rises to the top and can be skimmed off. What stays below is skimmed milk, the base for skyr.
The picture: our diagram of cream skimmed from a pan of milk.
