Yogurt

What is Yogurt?

Yogurt is a dairy product produced by the bacterial fermentation of milk.



History

There is evidence of cultured milk products being produced as food for at least 4,500 years. The earliest yoghurts were probably spontaneously fermented by wild bacteria living on the goat skin bags carried by the Bulgars (or Hunno-Bulgars), a nomadic people who began migrating into Europe in the second century AD and eventually settled in the Balkans at the end of the seventh century. Today, many different countries claim yoghurt as their own, yet there is no clear evidence as to where it was first discovered. [1]
