For this, any kind of milk will do. Cow, sheep, goat, even buffalo milk is more than perfect for making yogurt. Yogurt is made through a process called fermentation, which will modify the structure of the milk. The fermentation of the milk takes place when the good bacteria in the starter trigger fermentation. Please be careful as not every brand of milk can supply the right set of nutrients for bacteria, but any bacteria can thrive in the perfect environment, which you’ll need to create. If you want to enjoy yogurt at home, here are a few easy steps to follow. Pick up carefully your base products – whole dairy or soy milk with no additives and preservatives. Also, don’t forget to reculture the next batch of yogurt with 2 or 3 spoons taken from the existing yogurt, for every litre of milk, so you can enjoy yogurt as much as you like. Do remember that re-cultivations made by using ready yogurt and milk need 3-6 hours of fermentation only as the quality in terms of texture and taste are even better. As you can see, it is not rocket science to make yogurt at home. There are just a few simple rules to follow in order to enjoy yogurt as much and as often as you please. Myth or Not? Many people ask if it is true that the famous Lactobacillus Bulgaricus bacterium is found only in Bulgaria. The correct answer is no - you can grow the bacteria in different parts of the world (in fact many people do). What is unique about the Bulgarian strain is that only in Bulgaria it preserves its qualities in further generations of the same strain, i.e. if you use your previous yogurt to start your new batch. If this is how you make your yogurt outside Bulgaria, you will notice that after a batch or two, the yogurt loses its unique taste, physical appearance and qualities. Why this happens, scientists are not sure. It is often contributed to the unique climate of the region but there's more to creating the perfect conditions for Lactobacillus Bulgaricus than the environment. So how can you prepare Bulgarian yogurt abroad? The answer is simple - use a dried-freeze yogurt starter culture with live Lactobacillus Bulgaricus that was produced in Bulgaria. Use a new culture with every batch of yogurt you make to preserve the unique taste and qualities of the yogurt. In this way you can achieve the traditional taste of kiselo mlyako (кисело мляко) similar to the one our grandmothers used to make. ## Features - Use with all kinds of yogurt makers - Contains live active bacteria like ''Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. Bulgaricus'' and ''Streptococcus thermophilus'' - One sachet is enough to make 1 quart of plain, mild in taste yogurt and re-cultured after - Pure bacterial blend of cultures made in laboratory environment, away from additives, maltodextrin, gluten and GMO - Suitable for vegetarians and SCD diet ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B00XJM0NEO | | Best Sellers Rank | #30 in Yogurt Starter Cultures | | Manufacturer | Natural Probiotic Selection | | Package Dimensions | 6.34 x 3.66 x 0.87 inches; 1.76 ounces | | Units | 1 Count | | Upc | 700425220259 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Natural Probiotic Selection - **Cuisine:** Bulgarian - **Flavor:** for plain Yogurt - **Package Information:** Pouch - **Size:** 12 Count (Pack of 1) ## Images ![Yogurt Starter Cultures - Pack of 12 Freeze-dried Culture Sachets for Balkan Style Plain Yogurt (12) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Bujplrx6L.jpg) ![Yogurt Starter Cultures - Pack of 12 Freeze-dried Culture Sachets for Balkan Style Plain Yogurt (12) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UuuxMyhzL.jpg) ![Yogurt Starter Cultures - Pack of 12 Freeze-dried Culture Sachets for Balkan Style Plain Yogurt (12) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81gl7jEVDfL.jpg) ![Yogurt Starter Cultures - Pack of 12 Freeze-dried Culture Sachets for Balkan Style Plain Yogurt (12) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61mCgGSYZSL.jpg) ![Yogurt Starter Cultures - Pack of 12 Freeze-dried Culture Sachets for Balkan Style Plain Yogurt (12) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61+QcD5H28L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfectly, what I have been searching to find! *by on Reviewed in the United States January 20, 2017* The flavor and texture of the yogurt that results from this starter is sublime....perfectly, what I have been searching to find! The price is significantly better than competitors and it arrived amazingly fast and well packaged. They send an email upon ordering with directions. I didn't thoroughly read them because I have my process down to a simple science which produces consistent results as long as the milk is fresh. As with every other dry starter I have tried, the texture of the first batch is not as firm as you might expect yogurt to be. In my experience, that's just how it is. Still, the flavor of the first batch is so delightful I often keep the first batch for yogurt drinks. If it is too thin for your taste after refrigeration, don't toss it! You can turn right around and heat the same batch (with your starter separated) to 110 degrees in the microwave, add the starter you just reserved, culture in the machine again and it should turn out to be the texture you want! I always keep a couple of teaspoons of my fresh batch in a mini Mason jar with a tight plastic lid and use it as my starter for the next batch. I make yogurt weekly using 1 quart of half and half, and about 2/3 of a quart of whole milk. When I realized how much better homemade yogurt is, I started having fresh milk delivery to my home! My husband surprised me with a Cuisinart yogurt machine, which just takes the guess work out of maintaining the perfect temperature. I culture it for four hours; a longer culture time produces a more tangy yogurt, if that's what you like. This starter makes yogurt reminiscent of that which I had in France on a trip in high school a hundred years ago! I am a really busy person. Making yogurt is not something I would have ever dreamed I would desire to actually make time for in a week. I started a year ago and it is a rare week that our house does not have fresh yogurt! The process satisfies my senses and calms my brain from all the other noise of the world. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dry Balkan Yogurt Cultures a sure winner *by on Reviewed in the United States December 25, 2018* I've been using the Yogurt Starter Cultures - Pack of 3 Freeze-dried Culture Sachets for Balkan Style Plain Yogurt for a few years now and I'm really happy with it.

My first batch incubated for 20 hrs but it never got real thick. It had thickened some so I ate some and used some to start a second batch. The second batch was fantastic. It thickened up after 6 hrs. I then strained it for Greek style yogurt. I have never liked store bought plain yogurt but I could eat this plain all day. The flavor is great. I froze some of the initial batch to use for future second generation batches. I'm looking forward to making more in the next day or two. I used 1% organic Great Value (Walmart) milk. Heated on stove top, cooled by placing the pan in a large bowl of water. While my milk was heating on the stove, I warmed up my slow cooker. Once it was warm, I unplugged it. After the yogurt was cooled and the starter added, I placed it in the warmed up slow cooker, wrapped the slow cooker in blankets and let it incubate. ## Frequently Bought Together - Yogurt Starter Cultures - Pack of 12 Freeze-dried Culture Sachets for Balkan Style Plain Yogurt (12) - Yogurt Starter Cultures - Pack of 12 Freeze-dried Culture Sachets for Authentic Bulgarian Yogurt (12) - Yogurt Starter Cultures - Pack of 12 Freeze-dried Culture Sachets for Bifido Yogurt (12) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/26723659-yogurt-starter-cultures-pack-of-12-freeze-dried-culture-sachets](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/26723659-yogurt-starter-cultures-pack-of-12-freeze-dried-culture-sachets) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-08-25*
