Homeland of yogurt is Bulgaria

It was there , the Bulgarian bacillus was discovered, which has unique properties. 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. At the same time it develops during fermentation a number of vitamins, amino acids, trace elements and biologically active substances.

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.
