Review: Best Yogurt Starter You Can Buy! 😍 - Having visited Bulgaria many times I already knew of the benefits of eating top quality yogurt so I was delighted when I came across Genesis Bulgarian starter culture. Now on my fifth batch I can confirm this makes fantastic yogurt! This pack contains 10 capsules [individual portions] that you open and add to 2 litres of pasteurised milk when it has reached the correct temperature. It's really easy to make and once you've made one batch it's easy to make the next by using 2 tablespoons of your yogurt per litre of milk. Or if you've eaten all of your yogurt [easy to do] just use another capsule. The health benefits of Bulgarian yogurt is celebrated worldwide and the healthy bacteria so much more beneficial than the vast majority of probiotics we buy in capsule form plus it's delicious to eat, on it's own, with fruit or in raita, added to a smoothie, the options are endless and at a fraction of the price. Best of all I can now make Ayran at home which is the most thirst quenching, nutritious and delicious hangover cure ever! Mix 1/3 glass of yogurt, 1/3 water, 1/3 ice and 1/3 teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt. Of course you don't have to just drink it when you've got a hangover, Bulgarians drink it in huge quantities all day. It is a slightly acquired taste but by my third drink I was hooked so I am over the moon that I can now make this at home. Can't recommend this product enough, buy it and you will never buy shop bought, additive and sugar filled yogurt again!

I added it to some UHT milk and found if I also stirred in some powdered milk it would make a nice thick yoghurt in my yoghurt maker by the next day. I like the taste, but also like to add some nesquick, or cocoa, or chocolate bits etc to create a flavoured yoghurt... This only works once it has turned into yoghurt - I experimented by adding some nesquick to the initial mixture before it became yoghurt and it didn't work and didn't turn into yoghurt, so it is best to only make this culture up with milk and to add any flavour later.

## Features

- HOMELAND OF YOGURT IS BULGARIA Bulgarian bacillus is an active producer of lactic acid, which, in turn, has a suppressive effect on pathogens, thus helping the body to more actively fight infections. 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.
- BENEFITS OF HOME MILK PRODUCTS 1. The complete absence of preservatives, stabilizers, flavorings, thickeners, dyes, sugars. 2. Cooking homemade yogurt, you are always guaranteed to get a fresh and lively main product (in-store yogurt, due to the addition of preservatives or heat treatment, the live microorganisms virtually absent and yogurt is not always fresh). 3.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between bulgarian starter culture for traditional yogurt and the bio yogurt culture?**
A: Hello Dear Kathy , the starter culture for traditional yogurt content only Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus / in proportion 50/50 / Bio yogurt starter culture content Lactobacillus bulgaricus , Streptococcus thermophilus  and is enriched with Bifidobacterium complex , the final product is more liquid.there is a difference in the preparation steps / bio yogurt - 8-10 hours without stirring at 37-39°C. ; traditional -  8-10 hours without stirring at 42-45°C /Best regards

**Q: I made this started with 1litre of milk and did put one capsule. Did everything as instructed but it didn't work. What to do?**
A: Hello Dear  Brooklyn College,Thank you for your question, I would also like to thank all the customers for their accurate answers. One capsule  is  for min 1 liter and max 2 liters. There is two very important steps of preparation of yogurt:First step: When you pour the starter culture, you must stir it very well for a 2-3 minutes using electric mixer or egg beater.Second step: It is very important to keep a constant temperature which is different for every kind of culture. Every culture is very sensitive from temperature change through the incubation time.  Bulgarian Tradition Yogurt is thermophilic and need constant temperature 42-45°C. degree, but no more 50°C degrees C, because the starter culture may die. You must use a yogurt maker or thermos. In case you use yoghurt maker follow the applied instruction. Unfortunately some kind of yogurt makers may overheat even most thermophilic (growing best in a warm environment) starter cultures.The quality of the final product depends on the fresh milk used as a source. If the result does not meet your expectation - use another brand of milk.To ensure a good quality of your homemade yogurt, the milk you use must be free from preservatives, antibiotics and other additives. Do not use milk which contains milk powder or vegetable fats. Use only organic milk. Our recommendation - to obtain a stable quality and safe product is best to use ultra-pasteurized milk in aseptic packaging which meets the requirements of industrial sterility.NB. The incubation time must be 8-10 hours, but if does not work/ if the yogurt is still liquid/  please follow the next steps: pour the milk again and leave it for more 4-6 hours.  The most important thing for us is the customer satisfaction , and we are doing our best for this.Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions. Best regards,E-Trading team

**Q: Can this starter culture be used to culture non-dairy products like coconut milk?**
A: Hello Dear Paul,Thank you for your question,The recommendation of the producer is to use only organic milk as a source. We haven't tried making yogurt with any non-dairy milk, but we have many clients which use dairy free milk with success.If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact us.Best Regards,E-trading team

**Q: Is this a heirloom as in can be used as starter for ages?**
A: Hello Dear Sera,Thank you for your question,The final product could be used as a starter culture for multiple times / our advice is 2-3 times /. Add 1 or 2 table spoons in 1 Liter boiled and cooled down milk, as described on the package. The fermentation time in this case is 2 to 3 hours shorter.Please note that this culture is thermophilic and need constant temperature 42-45°C degree.Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions. Best regards E-Trading team

*by M***M on 25 September 2017*

I have found this makes a decent live yoghurt. I added it to some UHT milk and found if I also stirred in some powdered milk it would make a nice thick yoghurt in my yoghurt maker by the next day. I like the taste, but also like to add some nesquick, or cocoa, or chocolate bits etc to create a flavoured yoghurt... This only works once it has turned into yoghurt - I experimented by adding some nesquick to the initial mixture before it became yoghurt and it didn't work and didn't turn into yoghurt, so it is best to only make this culture up with milk and to add any flavour later.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Genuine yogurt test
*by J***E on 3 November 2019*

Product is good. I use Lidl yogurt maker. Following the instruction after 10 h. yogurt is done. But density is not as it was in 80s famous Bulgarian yogurt. I checked all "stages" and I found where was the problem. My Lidl yogurt maker keeps 37C but according to Google the best temperature is between 42-45C . So I increased time from 10 to 12h. - now I got the test I was looking for. Concerning the density - I stored the yogurt in frige and after approx. a day then it was as genuine in test and density. With one capsule I did 2kg yogurt. Then I used each previous yogurt as starter culture for about 3 months. Maybe it could last for more but I forgot to save 2 spoons as starter culture so I had to use new capsule. I tried many yogurts as starter culture. The best yogurt which I tested out of Bulgaria is KIllowen. If you are yogurt fan - you should try it. Its really really good - much better that other yogurts available on the market, even on Bulgarian market...
