It should be mentioned that in Bulgaria we don't actually call it "yogurt" but кисело мляко which can be translated as "sour milk" so it's a little bit different from the other type of fermented milk products in the Balkans.
All the yogurts around the world are made with Lactobacilus Bulgaricus bought from the state own Bulgarian company LLB. No Lactobacilus Bulgaricus no yogurts!
Lactobasilus Bulgaricus is found only in Bulgaria. This bacteria is in the soil and when the animals gaze the grass, the bacteria gets in their stomach and in the milk. When this bacteria ferments it gives this special flavor and the many healthy benefits for the people. It always amuses me why this bacteria Lactobasilus Bulgaricus never spreads outside Bulgarian territory :))), why we don't have it in other parts of the Balkans. In countries like Japan almost all the yogurt is made with Bulgarian bacteria for its health qualities.
I am from Serbia and i also lived in Bulgaria. God-willing if i get a chance i will take a yogurt and bring it here and add to my existing yogurt culture :) hehehe
@@VladimirMilovanov-ty4kh You can do it, and all Bulgarians will be happy for you. It is gift we want to share with all friends. You don't need to buy yogurt, just buy the bacteria. You can find it in small bottles all over Bulgaria. You just need several drops and the magic will happen. That way you will be sure to use the original bacteria. Greetings from Bulgaria!
@@dayanbalevski4446in India we use earthen ware pots to store warm milk and add yogurt to it without stirring ..but no spices, kefir or anything else and keep it for a day or two.. Our yogurt tastes sour and is thick ..it's called curd for a reason..it gets a distinct taste if kept in earthen ware pots
Lithuanian is kinda Slavic because like Latvian they come from Proto Balto-Slavic which later diverged to Slavic and Baltic languages. And Bulgarian has many dialects like German.
@ShoahshanaGoldbergShekelstein Of course, it's Bulgarian. Yogurt has been produced by Theacians in our land a thousand years before the turks even touched Europe. A tradition we inherited from the Thracians.
@@jivkoyanchev1998 Yes, it is absolutely Turkish. Yogurt has been produced by Turks for thousands of years before Bulgarians even entered Europe as Asiatic Slavs. Educate yourself on history.

Is it much different from the Greek yogurt?
@@mshark2205 It is. Greek one is sweeter.
Is it closer to Kefir? Because as a Greek I can tell that this is much more liquidish than the Greek yogurt which is mainly strained.

@@HeroManNick132 true. It’s consistency is kinda thicker and it has more fat than the Bulgarian one.

I have an idea.
Indian yogurt is made the same way ❤
@@CR-rm4iy Kefir is only done because the yogurt is not good... we do not make Kefir in Bulgaria.

No Lactobacillus bulgaricus there, so it will taste different.
Indian yogurt tastes very different from bulgarian.
Indian curd and yogurt is different - different strains of bacteria
Bulgarian sounds like a bavarian speaking lithuanian
Lithuanian is kinda Slavic because like Latvian they come from Proto Balto-Slavic which later diverged to Slavic and Baltic languages. And Bulgarian has many dialects like German.
Its just that different dialects of Bulgarian exist
Although i can say she really nailed the mountain accent
Are you a lithuanian who lives in Bavaria?
Btw, the flags of lithuania and Bulgaria are very similar.
We even have a natural soap made from yoghurt 😂 - YOUGHSOAP

Nice Turkic culture. i guess its from nomadic times of Bulgars.
Българите не сме тюрки!!!
@@petgeo66 Той е турчин, вярващ в тази пропаганда.
@@HeroManNick132 Since when have historical facts become propaganda? Proto Bulgars were a Turkic tribe and spoke Turkic language.
@@erdemozcan5435 The true origin of Bulgars is disputed. I wonder could you take direct DNA samples from them? The answer is no.
Nothing special. We do yougurt the same way in Albania.
Bulgarian yogurt is made with Lactobasilus Bulgaricus

This comment could have started a major war 100 years ago
I was in Albania this summer and tried the yogurt there. I have to say that it's very, very different from Bulgarian yogurt.
@@xser4321 my bad then.
No such thing as "Bulgarian yogurt". Yogurt is Turkic/Western Asian in origin.
The thing is this is the english translation :) we just call it sour milk around here ...
This is why we don't call it like that in Bulgaria. Its called кисело мляко and it is much much older than what the Turkic peoples have copied.
@@jivkoyanchev1998 You're delusional. Yogurt IS Turkic. Not Bulgarian.
