I find a few drops of calcium chloride really firms up my yoghurt.

Edit: Spelling. Effing autocomplete.

Hmmm this is interesting. I guess it just dries things out thereby firming it up? I wonder how this differs from usual gelling.

Note the relevance to goats milk as well.

I've just always accepted it without thinking much about it, but now you have me interested as well! Time for some reading, I think.
