## Description

Product description Makes up to 2 Gallons / 8 Litres of yogurt. Contains 4 grams of starter. This is the right size for those who make yogurt occasionally. Our Bulgarian yogurt starter makes genuine Bulgarian yogurt (kiselo mlyako) of exceptional quality with classic Bulgarian yogurt taste, thickness, acidity and aroma. The yogurt is thick and creamy in nature and has an impeccable taste with just the perfect balance between being mild and tart. It is unlike any other yogurt you’ve ever tried. This is an authentic Bulgarian heirloom yogurt starter. Each pack contains loose powder mix, in perfect proportions, of the two strains required to make Bulgarian yogurt — lactobacillus bulgaricus and streptococcus thermophilus. It makes thick, creamy and absolutely delicious yogurt. The starter is organic and fully natural with no preservatives, additives, artificial colors or flavors. It contains no GMO ingredients and it is gluten free. This is heirloom yogurt starter with live active bacteria, which means that you can reuse yogurt from your previous batch to culture your new batch, for as long as you wish. INGREDIENTS: Live active lactic acid cultures (lactobacillus bulgaricus and streptococcus thermophilus) TYPE: Heirloom Bulgarian yogurt starter. STRENGTH: 2 grams starter contain more than 2 billion cfu of lactic acid probiotic bacteria strains lactobacillus bulgaricus and streptococcus thermophilus. 100% potency guaranteed. ORIGIN: Produced in Bulgaria. PACKAGE CONTENTS: Sachet, containing the starter, labeled with easy to follow instructions.

Not suitable for individuals with lactose intolerance or those allergic to dairy products. Always follow proper hygiene and cooking practices when handling and preparing milk for yogurt making.

Review: Goes on and on - Felt a bit stiffed at first as the product was so little. desertcart advertises 10g. Having said that product is amazing. I make 2litres of yogurt a week and it is beautiful
Review: Deserves zero stars - Save your money and avoid - Terrible quality - I'd give it negative 10 stars if I could. Not only did this make "yoghurt soup", when I tried to return it they wanted £2.79 for return postage when I already paid £6 for a tiny package of starter culture. Not worth returning. I wasted £2.20 on milk in a cost of living crisis when trying to make two batches. I thought I made the first one wrong, and tried again. Nope! It's either the culture, or the instructions which said to use 0.5g. I used my trusted Lakeland multi yoghurt maker as always, exactly according to instructs, first 24 hours, it came out looking and smelling like yoghurt but soon turned into soup in the fridge. So I thought ok I better follow instructions exactly. Tried again, 8 hours, 42 degrees exactly as instructed. Again, thin soup. I even bought milk powder to try and thicken it artificially. Again more wasted money. Didn't do anything for this soup. Thin as water. Instructions say to use half a gram of culture for 1 litre of milk. Does nothing but give you soup. Save your money and just buy a live bio yoghurt from Tesco. Yeo valley, or Rachel's. Works every time. Cheaper and much better than this rubbish. In all I must have wasted over £10 for litres of yoghurt smelling water that just went down the drain. At least the septic tank got something to enjoy out of it!
