Amasi | Local Dairy Beverage From South Africa | TasteAtlas

Amasi

Amasi is a traditional fermented milk beverage containing numerous valuable probiotics, which is one of the reasons for its popularity. It has a thick and creamy texture, while the flavor is tart and milky, with some describing it as a mix between yogurt and cottage cheese.
