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, guaranteed. Directions Use one sachet per quart of milk to make yogurt. Use the resulting yogurt to make more yogurt.

So far, this product has given me the best consistent results. I make a litre at a time, using whole milk. I add a tablespoon of dried skimmed milk once the milk is off the heat, and leave it to cool before adding about 75ml of double cream. Stir well then add the culture when the temp reaches about 40 deg. I use an Easi Yo flask with one of their containers to keep it warm. The resulting yoghurt (I leave it overnight then transfer to fridge) is delicious, tastes creamier than it really is, and has a slight yoghurt flavour (I don't like strongly acidic tasting yoghurt). It is firm and creamy with a small amount of liquid. I use a bit of the yoghurt(about 2 heaped desert spoonfuls) to start the next day's culture, and I've found that four successive recultures seems to be the limit for my method before the taste becomes more sour and the texture a little less firm. So, it needs a little work but the satisfaction is immense. Cost wise. I worked out that my method including the culture is around £1.30 a litre (around a kilo), and since the cheapest factory produced yoghurt I could find in a supermarket is £1.55 a kilo (or £2.75 for yeo Valley which is much nicer than the 1.55 item) making your own is really good value. It is worth the effort, especially if you are into eating real unprocessed foods. Review: This works really well - This is great. I tried my first batch in the Hansell's yoghurt maker and it was really nice. I then bought the Lakeland yoghurt maker and used some of the left over yoghurt as a starter and it came out thick and tasty. It's a very mild tasting yoghurt and very pleasant taste. I wouldn't have believed second generation culture could be so successful. I'd definately recommend this culture. Remember and store in the fridge until used. If interested, here's how I made it 1 litre of UHT full fat milk, heated in the microwave for 1 minute, add three spoonfulls of yoghurt made from this culture and leave for 10 hours in the Lakeland Yoghurt Maker. Next morning and you have a litre of thick creamy yoghurt. Let it set in the fridge for six hours and eat. I also had good success with the Hansell's maker. This would work just the same with the easiyo maker. 1 litre of full fat milk, heated in the youghurt maker for three hours. Add culture to the warmed milk. Stick in the youghurt maker for six hours. Replace the water in the yoghurt maker with boiling water. Six hours later, you have your yoghurt ready to set. I found the Lakeland maker to be perfect. Really pleased with the results. It was hit and miss making the yoghurt in the Hansell's maker. It can't maintain a prolonged level of heat like the electric maker can. But it did work for me, albeit replenishing the maker with boiling water. My conclusion, this culture works out perfectly and unbelievably simple for making tasy fresh yoghurt. Use an electrical yoghurt maker for best results. ## Features - Use with all kinds of yogurt makers and whole milk - Contains live active bacteria like ''Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp.

The Yoghurt maker only maintains the temperature **Q: How many batches can one saschet make ?** A: Up to 3 tota ... In my experience. **Q: Can I use coconut milk?** A: I think it's worth a try. Not sure if there is something in cows milk that interacts with the live bacteria in the yogurt. But I might be inclined just to do one of the pots with the coconut milk and the rest using ordinary milk. **Q: Can I use 1 sachet for 2 l of milk?** A: I stuck to the instructions to use it for 1l. Then you can use that 1l to make new yogurt. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value to make a great product *by T***S on 13 March 2019* I've made yoghurt in the past, and have used store bought yoghurt (total fage or yeo Valley), and using a powdered culture.

I like deep yogurt with zing. I used raw milk and it worked well. If using raw milk hold temp of 180 for 20 mins min then allow milk to cool slowly I found this the best way with raw milk. Postage on the rather high side for an envelope. Made is an expensive buy for 3 packets. ## Frequently Bought Together - Yogurt Starter Cultures - Pack of 3 Freeze-dried Culture Sachets for Authentic Bulgarian Yogurt - Yogurt Starter Cultures - Pack of 3 Freeze-dried Culture Sachets for Bifido Yogurt - Yogurt Starter Cultures - Pack of 3 Freeze-dried Culture Sachets for Acidophilus Yogurt --- ## 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.us/products/52147583-yogurt-starter-cultures-pack-of-3-freeze-dried-sachets-authentic](https://www.desertcart.us/products/52147583-yogurt-starter-cultures-pack-of-3-freeze-dried-sachets-authentic) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
