Hi Ivo
I run a small b&b here in Ireland. Over the last 10 years I’ve won 3Best Irish Breakfst awards. In order to do that I need to offer guests the very best of everything. I am next to a dairy farm so get fresh milk daily. Using this I get the best yoghurt possible. It’s much appreciated by our guests.

Hello Ivo,
I bought some starter. I will be making lots of yogurt once I have my starters at home and I know that will help keeping me busy and healthy too.
Christel –
Good evening/morning Ivo
I won’t need any starter or cultures for a looong time as the last lot I ordered
As I am still making yoghurt with the first lot, you can imagine that I do not need any now and I can not guess when I will be needing it again.
Keep your distant and stay safe and out of the reach of the virus.
Kind regards
Christel

I’ve bought from you a few times in the past. The last lot of starter lasted for ages but when I ran out a friend gave me some kefir grains. I’ve been having homemade Kefir instead of yoghurt but I really prefer yoghurt so I’ve ordered some more starter.
Fingers crossed that I can actually get hold of some milk in these difficult times!
Stay safe.

Hi ivo
I have been used LABAN in Saudi Arabia and when i made this yogurt myself here in Pakistan I got it very similar or more better so that is why I liked.
I want to share with you that I used the buffalo full cream milk.
Thanx

Ivo, I dream of one day finding a starter yoghurt to match one we had in the late `70`s! No idea where I found it but I think it came from the Balcans, or somewhere in that neck of the
woods. The taste was gentle rather than tart and it had a distinctive pink hue. Generally I`m not mad about yoghurt but occasionally in France I come across one (commercial carton) that has a similar taste, again more bland than tart with a slightly granular texture to it, which I prefer to a slimy consistency. Good luck with your endeavors.

Dear Sir, thank you very much for the discount, it is very generous from your part.

Hi Ivo,
I like eating yoghurt and want to make it at home. As a child I used to be able to but the culture you keep from yoghurt pots makes something very slimy so its no good any more.
I was talking about sourcing a good yoghurt culture with a friend and she told me about you and said you folks are the best .. that was yesterday afternoon and by yesterday evening I had to your website, liked what I saw and ordered
Thank you! You come across as very authentic!
Regards
Minni

I love the Bulgarian yogurt I got from your company! I’ve been making my yogurt for the past four months every 5-6 days because I am on the scd diet. The yogurt I made from our starter is the absolute best!
Plus, I would like to take a moment to thank you for the time you gave me in answering my questions also. I wasn’t too sure a couple of times on a few subjects and sent you the question.
You answered me every time very quickly . You are a top notch business.
Thank you!
Love your yogurt!

Hi Ivo,
I’ve been using your starters for a couple of years or so and have always been very happy with the results.
Kind regards

I like it because it is a wonderful tasting healthy food – no gums sugars or preservatives – and can be used in so many ways straight with fresh fruit in baking in creamy pasta sauces in quiche recipes instead of cream it is just the best food

I absolutely LOVE it. I have used your starter before; for a while I have used a UK yogurt as a starter with superb results (Yeo Valley) but I have discovered there is bifidus bacteria in it so I will stop using it in favour of yours.

Okay, I’ve been a customer I know your starter is good quality so I decided to buy it again.

I’ve been eating yogurt since I was a child and the only yogurt available was Dannon, almost an oddity. Years ago I made it every day when I worked in a restaurant. I like to make my own because I can use really good milk and I also save having to recycle containers. I get milk in a glass returnable bottle. I’m looking forward to trying the Greek starter. I hope I can still get the milk I like in this difficult time.

We love the Bulgarian yogurt that I make with your wonderful culture starter product and we consume at least two, 24 ounce jars of the delicious yogurt every single day.
Thank you once more

Hi, Ivo!
My grandmother {mom’s mother) was… Bulgarian. Born in Receletz. My mother was born in Tcherven Brieg. I have been raised on “kisselo mleko”. I love yahurt. It is healthy. And the best starter comes from…Bulgaria. Thank you for getting it for us!

Hi Ivo,
Hope you’re well.
We tried some Bulgarian yoghurt when in NY……bought from whole foods I believe.
It’s not possible to get it here (or difficult) so have decided to make it ourselves.
I grew up with homemade yoghurt and love it…..especially the Bulgarian style.
Many thanks
Julian

Hello Ivo,
I love Yogurt because I feel the probiotic properties help me stay healthy .
I buy the starter from you because after some research I feel your starter is high quality and is also easy to order and delivery is good ..
I love making my own yogurt and love the fact that the ingredients are simple and pure . And it is so fun to make !

I was very happy with my first attempt and the yogurt was with absolutely original tastes which I remember 30 years ago

We love yogurt and eat it every day, but we don’t care for the glocky store yogurt with additives – so we make our own, with your help. Thank you.

Hi Ivo,
I have been making your yoghurt for over two years and it is always easy to make and delicious. Last time I ordered, I tried the free sample of Greek yoghurt – it was really good yoghurt but I prefer the Bulgarian starter as it has a unique taste.
Thanks,
Jill

Hallo Ivo Hope i can answer in german. Danke für die Nachfrage. Mein erster Versuch eigenen Yogurt herzustellen hat ziemlich gut geklappt Leider habe ich nicht mit der Schnelligkeit meiner Familie gerechnet: Der Rest für einen weiteren Start war auch weg. Habe jetzt nachbestellt, auch für Arbeitskollegen die ich für den Yogurt begeistern konne. Also die
Geschichte geht weiter…. Danke!
