I bought Ronnybrook products regularly when I lived in NYC, but unfortunately they’re not available on the left coast, where honkman and I are. I have also never seen full-fat cultured buttermilk here in the Bay Area.

In San Diego, full fat is available at a couple of “regular” stores in our shopping radius, but not everywhere.

Which ones in SD ?
Regarding low fat buttermilk and full fat buttermilk, the Panna Cotta is basically the same taste and mouthfeel with either one. So for anyone planning to make a buttermilk Panna Cotta, either one works equally well.

More caramelized yogurt / kefir / buttermilk panna cotta (ie mishti doi) – set in silicone muffin cups to try unmolding this time.
I was chatting on the phone 
and am pretty sure I measured in less ryazhenka ( I was using an 1/8 cup measure for milk and kept going with it), because it’s set FIRM. Luckily I set 2 portions from the “1/2” cup batch, so I am going to warm the second portion and fix it 
.
However – the butter-toasted speculoos cookie crumbs are MONEY! Definitely doing that again!

Jimbo & Gelson’s as I recall, aside from international markets. Do you live in / near San Diego?
We lived for 16 years in San Diego, so it would give me some ideas which shops/chains might have it in other parts of California
Health food or international markets serving middle eastern or central asian / former soviet customers would make sense to me.
ETA: I use Instacart a lot for this kind of sleuthing – if a larger chain is on there, their full inventory is loaded, though with smaller places it can be less reliable (as in, they tend to have many more items than they may show). Also sometimes more effective to pull up a specific store and search for the product than to search for an item across stores (because then the software skews the results to who’s paying to be featured, etc).
