Hello,
I’ve had great success with this yogurt culture! Started out using “single set” yogurt from another company. It worked, but honestly the flavor was kind of bland. This is the first time trying to use some yogurt (from your company) from previous batch to start a new batch of yogurt. And it worked like a charm! And I like the taste of this yogurt better. It’s “just right” tangy and more flavorful. Thank you for the simple, straight forward online instructions too. Great product!

I feel much better since I eat yogurt on a daily basis. I also give it to my son as a substitute to milk, for calcium

I own two cows. I learned long ago that yogurts are good for health. I studied the process and learned about the culture used for this. Take culture from NDRI Karnak India. As I don’t have the system to sub culture it failed. I know the names of bacteria from that time. They give them separately. Some days back I found about the details of the yogurt in DW TV . I learned for the first time this culture originated in Bulgaria and it is been used by a lot of Chinese people and it attracts a lot of Chinese visitors to Bulgaria. I heard that this got the capacity to extend the life span of people. I searched Google for Munchalaxci and came across your website..It was a lot difficult to get Munchalaxci because even if very good in vocabulary it was difficult to enter the spelling correctly. At last I found the spelling pop-up from Google.Thats the story. Now I want to make yogurt and other products you offer with my cows milk and share it with all.

Hello Ivo,
Since India is one of the largest milk producer in the world, and has a reasonable rate of milk and milk product consumption. Yogurt ranks third in the entire consumption of milk and milk products, after milk and ghee (clarified butter).
With the modern era, young females who are working find it a good idea to get the yogurt or dahi from outside instead of setting it at home. That means there is an opportunity for commercially produced yogurt and we are focusing on that opportunity. With this, it is projected that consumption of yogurt grow around 20% of CAGR from 2017 -18 to 2022-13.
This increase in consumption shall put major pressure on Indian Dairies to cope up with the demand and supply good quality sustainable yogurt. As a result, we would like to supply your starter culture for yogurt to the major dairies in India with the support of our internal networking.

Hi there, read somewhere that Bulgarian yogurt has the prevotellaceae bug which exists in ruminant animals but is sadly lacking in those with Parkinson’s and other diseases.
Researching Parkinson’s disease came across The bug Prevotellaceae, then Bulgarian yogurt. I am very excited about this

Аз съм в Америка вече 18 години. И двете ми дъщери (на 31 и 29) са закърмени с Българско кисело мляко. Заквасвах на село с мляко от съседите които отглеждаха крави и биволици. Ех какви времена бяха, всичко органично. Благодаря ви още веднъж!
Непременно ше оставя положително review.

Hi Ivo
I went to Bulgaria for a week last year and found the yoghurt and kefir ‘out of this world’.
When I came home, I searched the internet and found your company. The rest is history.
I make a litre batch of kefir twice a week and a litre of yoghurt once a week. The instructions in the accompanying email are so simple and the same can be said for making the yoghurt/kefir.
The taste is great and as it contains live biotic, it is one of the healthiest foods on the planet.
I drink it, pour it on fruit and cereals and also use the yoghurt to ‘cool down” hot chillie and curry meals.
All my family love it.
Best wishes
Alan

The yogourt turned out great. The texture is what I was looking for. The yogourt is thick without having to use gelatine like I needed before with Yogourmet starter. The taste is very yummy!

Hi There,
I love this yogurt. It turned out great with no problem at all. I’ve been eating it, making lassi with it and I love it. I have been putting it on some skin irritations and it is actually healing them. Today I used it on my scalp and hair and what an amazing improvement (shiny, strong and manageable hair). I’m hoping that it will encourage hair growth as well, but too soon to tell about that. Needless to say I am very, very happy with this purchase.
Thanks,
Kathy

Todays yogurt is just about perfect. It’s quite thick already and I haven’t strained it yet. And absolutely no smell or taste of acetone.

I have been using Cultures for Health yogurt starter for several years. However, I was no longer having any success with their heirloom Greek Yogurt – so I tried your Bulgarian yogurt and it is indeed the best we have ever tried! And because I can make yogurt from existing yogurt I am not using up the batch I bought very quickly! What a GREAT product, and thanks!

Yogurt has helped my digestive problems and keeps me fuller for longer. It has also been a great help in my weight loss journey.

Hi Ivo
I have made 4 batches now and each one has gotten better. The first two were more tangy than I prefer, but I have varied the recipe and the last two batches were more to my liking. I think the issue is my yogurt maker only make about 1.5 litres which would be 3/4 of a tsp.
Originally I may have put too much of the culture into it.
My last two batches were wonderfully tasty and rich. I have not tried any of the cheese or kefir yet but am looking forward to it.

Based on a positive result with my first use of your yogurt starter, I would be naturally inclined to use an active “word of mouth” strategy within our gated community of over 400 closely associated, retirement age folks, many of whom are health-conscious and would be benefited. Our actively followed facebook group would supplement that approach. I am also personally interested in making kefir and cheese.

I bought the Bulgarian culture a few months ago and have been making great yogurt with it.

I certainly enjoyed the yogurt!
