The texture is growing on me and I enjoy the convenience of having starter, so I’ll be ordering several times a year.

Everything is perfect in regards to the yoghurt.
After you helped me out figuring that 1/8 of a teaspoon was a little less for a liter of milk the yoghurt just came out brilliantly.
So I took some of the starter with me when I visited my parents and now they love it too.
However, I have a one person household, so one liter of yoghurt per week is a pretty good amount, which means that I still have some starter left from the second delivery of yours. And then of course I have to try the rose-yoghurt too.
Oh…I took some with me to work once…not that I would expect my coworkers to make some themselves, but I think since they have been waiting for me to tell them I could not finish mine and they could have it…That, however, is not going to happen. I love it too much!
If I had more storage space I probably would make more of that yoghurt and invent my own yoghurt-diet…
So don’t worry, I will order more as soon as I can see that I am coming close to finishing off my starter. If there is one thing certain, than it is that I am never again buying yoghurt at the grocery store (unless it is located in Bulgaria, maybe).
Have a wonderful weekend!
Wiebke

I made my first batch and am very well pleased with it. Although I am used to making yogurt, I find the timings can be different the first time, but thereafter usually fine. I am pleased with the taste and will continue making the yogurt. As I have only myself to make it for, it does take sometime to use up the powdered culture.

Hi Ivo
The yogurt has been turning out great - texture and taste wise. I found it difficult at first to prevent the milk from burning on the stove, so the first few batches had bits of burnt milk. I gave up heating the milk on the stove and i've been microwaving the milk instead. So far it has worked just fine and tastes just as good.

Hi Ivo. I just made my first batch with your culture. I used a bit less than 1/4 tsp for 1.25 litres of milk/10% coffee cream. I have a yogurt maker which switches to cold mode after the incubation period is up, so I can set it and forget it. I usually set it for 5 hours. At the 3 hour mark, I checked before bedtime and saw it was still pretty liquidy so I added 2 more hours. In the morning, it was the thickness I liked but still hadn’t quite set. I ate some and do like the delicate flavour. It’s less tangy than my current culture. When I ate more that night, it was more firm from being in the refrigerator. I think it’s a matter of getting the right dose and number of hours, and stirring the culture in longer. I put about a half a cup aside and plan to use it along with maybe an 1/8th teaspoon of the culture.

Hi,
I purchased the 8 gallon envelope thru Amazon. I made my first batch yesterday and tried it for the first time this morning. It smells wonderful and tastes good. I did follow your instructions to the letter. I used a digital cooking thermometer to determine milk temperature. I live in south Florida, wrapped it in towels, and put it in a insulated container, so it didn't get cold. I used pasteurized, storebrand whole milk. (It was the only brand that was not ultra-pasteurized.) I will try my next batch using half and half, as suggested in your FAQ.
Many thanks,
Theodore Kowal

The drinking kefir is particularly nice. Reculturing 3 rd time this week , 8 h at 32 c in yougurt machine , it seems get ready quicker at constant 32 c temperature. And separations of mass and liquid happened around 6th hour.
I also tried old fashioned method - 32c at the start and for 8 h in thermos , the texture seems much smother , the taste is much milder .
I first came across with this culture here in England , I bought it at “freshly fermented “ and they called it russian yougurt. They suggest to culture it at 42c ,so I did and there was much liquid and separation after 4 hours. I just assumed it was too hot for this culture. Reculturing was possible only twice. I am also using it for culturing baked milk. Traditional Russian yougurt drink “ rygenka” - as my grandmother thought me years ago.
After seeing to much separations of liquid , i searched the information for optimal culturing temperature for all 10 bacterias of this culture and realised that it varies between 32-38c . And then ... by Miracle ... I found your company
!!! Bacillus Bulgaricus !
You are selling the very same culture - 10 bacteria’s kefir ! And you have authentic instruction for 32c !
The other culture I got from you is the yogurt which was very nice tasting and ok for first ferment then after reculturing it become more and more sour. I suppose it is temperature as I do it In Yogurt machine for 6 h at 42 c. I suppose it is too hot for such length of time.
but still after straining it become very nice Greek style yougurt thick and creamy .
I will try 42 c for couple of hours then reduce it to 38 for another 4 h.
So , I am very enthusiastic about yougurt making and would like to keeps all bacteria most alive , so I will play with temperatures in yougurt machines and see what outcome would be. It is fascinating hobby for health !
It was very nice to learn that some bacterias in your products are from Rodopy mountains area!
I was visiting beautiful Bulgaria and Rodopy many years ago and have nostalgic memories of this amazing place .
All is very well and thanks to your company for excellent service , quick deliveries and great products , the test is Devine ! I will purchase some more , thanks for the coupon.
I managed to convince my German friend to do her own yougurts after her kids tried some I made !
Kind regards and all the best !
Natalia

I am new to yogurt making, but read that Bulgarian yogurt was the best and so I wanted to try my hand at it. Your yogurt starter is wonderful. It makes the creamiest, most delicious yogurt batch after batch. It is so good, I am hesitant to use yogurt as my starter. I just use fresh starter with every batch. I have definitely experienced some health benefits already, which is certainly a plus. Have a wonderful day!

Hi Ivo,

I am following the SCD diet to treat my Ulcerative Colitis, and use organic milk and a Luvele yoghurt maker with a 24 hr ferment time.
The yoghurt comes out perfectly tart & smooth every time, and I am busy converting family & friends
Can you tell me how/where the starter is created? I have no idea of the process, I just know it's good stuff!
