Sýra and blanda (Icelandic fermented whey and whey drink)sýra
Sýra is the whey left from making skyr, kept in casks until it has soured for a long time. Diluted with water it becomes blanda, the everyday farm drink, and undiluted it was the acid in which Icelanders kept meat (súrmatur).
A short entry: the sources we found record only what is said here about Sýra and blanda itself.

At a glance
Sýra is the whey left from making skyr, kept in casks until it has soured for a long time. Diluted with water it becomes blanda, the everyday farm drink, and undiluted it was the acid in which Icelanders kept meat (súrmatur). Made in 3 steps over 12 months. The longest step, sour the whey in casks, takes at least 12 months (Von Troil U).
Sýra is whey kept until it is very sour, not a curd or a drink in itself. Slovak žinčica is also a sheep-whey product, but it is heated and drunk within a day.
Súrmatur (whey-soured meats)Meat kept in sýra; the sour pieces are still eaten at Þorrablót.
Blaand (Shetland)A Shetland whey drink of the same tradition, no longer made (Wikipedia).
Sýra in breadVon Troil saw flour kneaded with sýra into dough.
Safety
Von Troil wrote in the 18th century that some meat was kept in casks under sour fermented whey, and that sýra was not thought fit for use until it was a year old. That is a historical account, not a safety test.
The Swedish traveller Uno von Troil, in his 18th-century Letters on Iceland, wrote that sýra was soured whey kept in casks and not used until a year old, and that blanda was water with a twelfth part of sýra. Shetland blaand died out in the mid-20th century (Wikipedia).
