The yogurt turned out great, my family and I love it. The texture and flavor are superb. I have been making it with both whole cow’s milk and with lactose-free, partially skimmed (2%). Today I have a small batch made with goat’s milk in my homemade incubator. I hope it will turn out great too.

Dear Ivo,
I’m just an absolute beginner in preparing yogurt by myself, but I will try and try and find out at last. And with the help of your “Yogurt makers’ handbook“ I will succeed!
Thanks and friendly greetings from Liechtenstein (by the way, it’s a very nice little country in the Alps…),
Michael – :
The yoghurt was tasty and creamy !
Rebecca C. – :
I will spread the word – it’s a wonderful product!
David – :
I have really enjoyed the yogurt – It really has exceeded my expectations. I have given some samples to friends and they love it also. The flavor is something that I have never tasted in commercial yogurts and it is honestly very inexpensive to have very good yogurt. Thank you so much.
Tina Stoeva – :
Благодаря, Иво! Радвам се, че открих сайта! И ще разпространя новината:) Това, което правите, улеснява живота на всички ни, досега единствената опция бе да си го носим от България когато си ходим…
K – :
The yogurt I made went really well, I left it a bit longer (10 hours) as I like thicker consistency. The taste was wonderful and just the same as I remember from my childhood.
Gabriele Wanger – :
Excellent yogurt! Can’t get enough of it. how long is it possible to store the prepared yogurt in the fridge after I made it? Someone told me I could store it for about 1 week, is this correct? I don’t want to eat about 300ml of yogurt each day… ;o)
Friendly greetings from Switzerland,
Alise G – :
Dear Ivo
It is my second order of Bacillus Bulgaricus. My first experience was very successful.
I like yogurts generally.
Self-made yogurts don’t have any additions. They are healthy and tasty.
Kind regards,
Alisa
Jennifer Willard – :
I bought some of your bacillus bulgaricus and have just successfully made 7 pots of really delicious yogurt. I made it from cold UHT milk, and it is lovely.
Sangare M – :
Hello Ivo, I buy your yoghurt because I like it !
Ron Turpin – :
Hello Ivo, well I have to be honest I have never tried Yogurt in its pure state such as your product, I have only tried the commercial stuff which has other ingredients. Through extensive research of animal care I was prompted to try this for the probiotic benefits it may provide for my young puppy, but of course if it smells and tastes as good as is suggested, I certainly will be eating it myself also.
Marina Cheng – :
Hello Ivo – I was excited to receive your packet today!! Rather faster than expected. However, was rather disappointed that there was no “Yogurt-Maker’s Handbook” as was promised on your website. Do you have a pdf version you can email to me? Would appreciate it! Landlord is starting a bit of renovation in my apt this weekend for 7-10 days, so will make your yogurt as soon as I move back after the renovation! Am sad that I cannot make it tomorrow! Regards – Marina
Yvonne – :
I don’t buy yogurt, I make my own yogurt. Yogurt is a delicious way to stay away from unhealthy foods, in addition to providing me with “essential for good health” — probiotics. Commercial probiotics that actually work, are very expensive, homemade yogurt is a fraction of the price. Also, making yogurt is a satisfying thing to do, like gardening.
Marian – :
Just had my first dish of yoghurt made with your starter it is so good l have previously used natren starter but yours makes a cleaner tasting and better texture yoghurt l used uht full cream milk and a luvelle yoghurt maker l am in heaven this is the best yoghurt ever l must admit l didnt really expect it to be this good will be using only your starter from now! thank you!!
Marian – :
I love to eat a natural gentle food that is wholesome and chemical and additive free with the bonus of being yummy
MDawn TQuah – :
I’m interested to cultivate heirloom yogurt because my husband loves them and it’s expensive in Singapore!
Karen – :
I love the yogurt and it turns out great every time!
Iddy Liu – :
Hi Ivo, I like the taste of the yogurt plus the fact that it is healthy. You are highly recommended by my friend Marina.
donna W – :
I am leaning heavily towards a vegan diet, and looking for alternative ways to have yogurt. The stores carry options but most of them have some form of sugar in them and I don’t eat sugar. I want to make almond milk or soy milk yogurt at home. Thanks!
Kris – :
The yogurt was great! I haven’t tried making the cheese yet but will do soon.
Chrys Bailey – :
We are now just finished with our third batch of yogurt. WE think we have the process down to work for our milk but didn’t want to write too soon. Our second batch was a bit runny so we let it activate a bit longer. That worked!! WE and our small CSA group love the yogurt.
Thank you. WE have recommended your web site.
Ute Kirchhoff – :
Dear Ivo,
thank you for your email – we just love the texture and taste of the yoghurt!!
Since I prepare yoghurt now for about 30 years (!) with a yoghurt machine I have to figure out some details… like how many hours bring the best yoghurt and how many times can I use one of the yoghurts as ‘starter’ for the next ones… but we are already pretty close I think! ☺
So I will order the next starters very soon…
Best
Ute

The yogurt is great. Made it with Lactose free milk; worked well and we love the taste.

I am 75 yrs young and like to stay as healthy as I can Never done this but am excited to begin
Andreana D – :
Първо искам да благодаря за отличното обслужване – информацията в сайта, рецептата, поръчката и доставката – всичко е на висота.
Но най-високо естествено стои киселото мляко – страхотен вкус. Всички в къщи го обичаме много и му се наслаждаваме всекидневно. Заквасвам по около 6 литра седмично и пак не стига. Купувам прясно мляко от магазина, но е биодинамично – не е било обезмаслявано, с естествени мазнини, които варират през сезоните. Мисля, че с него постигам най-добри резултати.
Миналата година бях поръчала от датски сайт стартер за кисело мляко – балкански стил. Streptococcus thermophilus og Lactococcus delbrückii spp bulgaricus – това беше по-съдържание, но не пишеше в какво отношение са. Ноо…. вашият стартер повече ни харесва – защото си е български. Ще поръчам пак скоро!
C Hall – :
I buy your yoghurt firstly because it is very healthy – a natural source of pro-biotic and also for its delicious taste.
Karina RA – :
Yes! I just received it this weekend. So now I am excited to try it out and start making my own yogurt 🙂
Justin B – :
Thanks for the direction and the great starter culture!
Marion N – :
The yoghurt is very nice and creamy. The starter worked well. I used a yoghurt maker.
Heather – :
We didn’t actually use it to make yogurt. We were running experiments with Histamine and our fish was not producing Histamine. We added a yogurt starter solution to the fish, and the bacteria produced histamine. We were able to quantify the amount of histamine produced!
Christopher – :
Dear Ivo,
I love yoghurt with fruit and it is a healthier option than cream! I want to make your yogurt as I am seeing the doctor as I have a gut complaint. I have to change my diet. I watched a TV programme by Dr Moseley who spoke of the great benefits of probiotics and one of the best ways to get it was from making your own yogurt – this is why I am desperate to make it correctly.
I have just boiled the milk for my second batch and now waiting for it to cool. First batch was great!
Susanne – :
Thanks :). The yoghurt gets even better than what I can make based on my favourite Turkish yoghurt – both in taste and texture. So contrary to my original opinion, I now think it really is worthwhile to add a yoghurt culture in powdered form, but I wouldn’t bother with anything except Bacillus Bulgaricus.
Anna Kubalska – :
Yogurt was very good, creamy, not very sour – delicious! I will definitely order more and other products from you
John – :
Taste great !!
Ajay K – :
We have used both of the packets we ordered and the result was as expected. Taste was awesome.
In India, we have a tradition of consuming Curd which is little bit sour and what we end up in was Yogurt which I guess tends towards more of sweet in taste. We tried this on cows milk, buffalo milk and also on toned milk.
Still, we loved the taste, thickness of the yogurt.
Tara – :
wow thank you for your help!!! Thats very kind of you…so excited to try the rose!
Jane Nair – :
After all of your help with the last batch of yogurt that I made using your starter, I am now coming back for more. I have made it using full cream, semi skimmed and skimmed milk and they were all delicious, and now that I have worked out the problem I was having, I am hooked.
Justin Bashein – :
First of all I want to start out by saying I absolutely love your yogurt starter! My wife and I can’t get enough of this stuff! We were given your starter as a gift and used new starter each time we made yogurt for the first year of making our own yogurt. We are now ready to try and keep a live culture from the starter alive from week to week rather than using starter culture each time. Thanks so much for an awesome product, you guys rock!
Teresa – :
We love the yogurt! I am making a batch right now, it come out thick and rich and even when I leave it over 12 hours it is not sour. Thank you for the coupon we plan to buy more and try some new cultures also.
Sue Luke – :
Hi Ivo
I’ve been making yogurt using a few different methods for about 6 months now.
The results have all been good, but without a doubt your culture has been the most successful. It develops near the fuel stove for 10 to 12 hours.
It has a creamy smooth texture and deliciously subtle acidity that goes beautifully with anything from soup to cake!
We love it
Thanks from Susana
OJ – :
Hi Ivo,
I love yogurt & secondly I have been hearing about Bulgarian yogurt which they said is d best in world .
Bulgarian yogurt is very healthy to d body & makes you live longer. Thanks for it!
George – :
Hi Ivo.
Well, my first batch sort of bombed out. I changed my fermentation time to 7 hours and then let cool using my yogurt maker. Wow, did I have a lot of whey in the product. Only got two servings of yogurt out of that batch. I had to strain it which reduced the amount of yogurt.
Next batch I went back to 8 hours, ½ cup instead of ¼ cup powdered milk, ¼ tsp starter and hardly any whey. Will stay with that method from here on out. Turned out fantastic.
Jane – :
I love the yogurt and have passed on your web address to a friend who loves the sample I have her. Thank you for your help !
Irma – :
Hello, Ivo! I am very pleased with the result. Many thanks.
Winnie – :
THANK you so much for A WONDERFUL product.
