Bulgarian Yogurt: The secret to a long life?

Bulgarians have a strong and enduring love for yogurt. Known as the "Cradle of Yogurt," Bulgaria is famous for its unique strain of bacteria and the distinct taste of its yogurt. Bulgarians have been making yogurt for centuries, and it's a staple in their diet. Their traditional yogurt, called "kiselo mlyako," is prized for its creamy texture and tangy flavor. This yogurt is believed to offer various health benefits.

Yogurt is a versatile ingredient in Bulgarian cuisine, used in soups, desserts, and as a standalone snack. Bulgarians associate it with good health and longevity, and it's deeply embedded in their culture.

In the village of Momchilovtsi, Bulgaria, the annual yogurt festival, known as the "Momchilovtsi Yogurt Festival," is a vibrant celebration of Bulgaria's love for yogurt. Set against the backdrop of the Rhodope Mountains, the festival is a lively event that honors the region's yogurt-making traditions.
