Kiselo mlyako
(Kiselo mliak, Кисело мляко, Bulgarian Yogurt)
Kiselo mlyako, also known as Bulgarian yogurt, is often cited as one of the oldest and the first types of yogurt that appeared in the world. It is made without any additives, typically from cow, sheep, buffalo, goat milk, or a mixture of these and the two types of probiotic bacteria – Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, which was discovered by the Bulgarian microbiologist Stamen Grigorov.
Kiselo mlyako is praised for its rich, creamy flavor and great nutritional value. It is a staple in Bulgarian cuisine and it although it is commonly enjoyed as a drink, it is also often used as an ingredient or a condiment. This dairy beverage is also popular in North Macedonia, Serbia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
