Simply stated I love the stuff. Eat it with morning oatmeal, with fresh fruit and honey, add to my stews and soups. We use about .5 to 1 gallon a week for the two of us.

I was quite skeptic at the beginning, but the result was excellent.
I trued to make yogurt using different starters before. I even bough an electrical yogurt maker.
The result was never that good!
Now I will try to make a cheese 🙂

Hi,
I recently ordered a 16 litre Yogurt Starter pack from you (see order details below). I received my order about a week ago, so all is good there, except today I received *another* 16 litre Yogurt Starter pack despite not having placed any other order.
So now I have 2 x 16 litre packs, which is not really a problem for me (I'm a big fan of the yogurt it makes)
It will be finished soon tho 🙂

As retired artisan baker we have always work one day ahead by refrigerating loaves (unbaked) or bulk dough in tubs. The following day removing dough from refrigeration and continuing with the proofing process, the yeast wasn't effected and came back to life perfectly. Thinking like a baker I thought the yogurt might work in a similar manner!

I am new to making yogurt, I eat a lot of it and thought I would try my hand at making it. I read testimonials of how good Bulgarian yogurt was in comparison to our traditional yogurt here in US. I found your website and decided to try, I had nothing to lose. The price was not very expensive and you give a 100% money back guarantee. I made my first batch last night, and I will say that it was the best yogurt I have ever tasted. You can taste the live cultures in it, something that cannot be said about commercial yogurts in the store. It is everything you said it would be and more, I will not be going back to store bought yogurt again. Thank you!

I decided to fabricate a yogurt maker by myself using a 40 x 40cm stainless steel box with heater (100W) where I will install an digital thermostat and a recirculator pump in order to obtain a precise processing temperature.
I used to make my yogurt the same process you described, but the temperature I set on 38 Degrees Centigrade seen on my laser thermometer.
But your instructions means 43 Degrees! What do you recommend? I am really insecure about it, because I killed some yogurts, just because the temperature.
So with the yogurt maker I expect to make about 30 small pots (260ml) at once, with stable temperature. What do you think about? After build the yogurt maker, I can send you pictures and if you want, the circuitry, very easy, anyone can make at home.
Ivo really I did not put my hands on the sachets! I am building a yogurt maker. Sent you a description about and asking you some advice.
You are my supplier from now!

Hi Ivo,
Great business idea - I wish you much success!
I am actually not such a big fan of yogurt! However I do enjoy full-fat Faye Greek yogurt on occasion (usually when I am in Greece on holiday.)
The reason I started buying yogurt starter from you (this is my second purchase) is that, when making Tzatziki, Greek yogurt didn't seem to produce quite the authentic results I taste in Greece. I asked my wife's father (who is Greek) why this this is and he explained that Tzatziki is made with Bulgarian yogurt. A little research then led me to your website and I have since made Tzatziki with Bulgarian yogurt from your starter with great success. As a secondary reason, I am keen to make yogurt at home with live cultures due to the probiotic benefits as I sometimes suffer from H Pylori intestinal issues.
So basically, it's so I can make authentic tzatziki and partly for the health benefits of yogurt.

just a few hours ago I heated and cooled milk, added your 'starter' and I now have 1/2 gallon of Bulgarian yogurt 'cooking' in my Yogourmet yogurt maker. I do expect great results and I will let you know know how my yogurt came out. I cannot wait to taste my Bulgarian yogurt, as I told you before I've been to Greece 10 times and enjoyed the real authentic Greek yogurt. Bulgaria isn't too far from Greece, so I do expect some great tasting results from your Bulgarian yogurt starter. Thanks again!!! God Bless!! -Doug

Hi Ivo
Thanks for your email. I very much enjoy making the Bacillus Bulgaricus yogurt. It is easy to make and very reliable and delicious. If I make a batch using your culture, I find I can normally make a couple more batches by using a spoonful from the first batch. The culture seems happy to be frozen and then warmed up again for use. So, keep up the good work. A new order will be whizzing your way today. Best wishes

Thanks Ivo,
I am just enjoying my second batch of yoghurt . It makes a very good creamy consistency. I am surprised at how small an amount of starter is needed for the 2 litres I make compared with the Natren brand I was formerly using. I use full cream milk .It makes a smooth savoury flavour, to which I add berries and a banana.

Hi yogurt friends!
My first batch of plain yogurt was a flop. It did not “set”, even after being left in an appropriately warm, draft-free room, wrapped loosely overnight.
My next batch was split into 1/2 plain and 1/2 rose. I let it sit most of the day and it was still liquid. So I let it continue working its magic overnight. The next morning, nearly 20 hours later, I had some nice yogurt.
The plain portion wasn’t as tart as I’d hoped, but still a bit sour and good. The rose portion was very mild - not sweet, not “rosy”, but good.
I’m very glad I am at least trying this very interesting experiment!

Hi Ivo, let me say, I'm a single household doing 3 litres yoghurt every 10-14 days.
My first order was via bulgaria-shop.de however, with the delivery they've been so kind to put instructions with your original site.
With that one delivery I made my yoghurt for over one year, before my next order at bacillusbulgaricus.com.
There's absolutely no problem with the starter. I use a little less at slightly higher room temperature and about 12 hour processing time and it wasn't even a problem with the remains after one year.
Generally I prefer to order goods to be kept in the fridge in late autumn or early spring. So with the extra stuff I ordered, I should be busy and fine until next spring. Until that, I will try somehow with the cheese ...

Hi Ivo,
I like yogurt very much and believe there are health benefits from taking a good quality one that has the bacteria needed to help with digestive problems which I have.
I did buy a starter from you a while ago, used some for the first batch and then did not freeze the rest and it has deteriorated so I am trying again with a fresh starter! I would actually like to make it from almond milk.
My first batch was made from a non-dairy milk and was quite thin so any advice would be welcome – it is possible that I hadn’t brought the milk to the correct temperature? I note from your website that it is possible to make a thicker yogurt even from non-dairy milk.

I usually order from Amazon and I started out at your website. I was trying to find cheaper shipping I guess. Next time I will order direct from your website. I bought 2 packages that are good for 1 gallon so it should last me a while.
I made my first batch last night and used a yogurt maker to keep them warm. after about 8 hours they were gelled up with a little bit of liquid on top. I am excited to taste it after they cool off.
If I want to add flavoring or sugar, do I do that after stirring in the yogurt culture? I am not sure what my limitations are. Some recipes say you can put fruit at the bottom of the jar and pour the yogurt on top.
