Matzoon
(Matsun, Matsoni, մածուն, მაწონი)
Matzoon or matsuni is a type of traditional Armenian and Georgian fermented dairy product that consists of milk and a starter culture or previously made matzoon. It is typically made with boiled cow’s milk combined with yogurt, and the mixture is then allowed to sit in a warm place until it becomes homogenous.
Sometimes the milk of goat, sheep, or buffalo is used instead of cow’s milk. Semi-firm and with a distinctive, tangy flavor, matzoon is featured in numerous traditional Armenian dishes and beverages, both sweet and savory, such as the refreshing beverages known as matsnabrdosh and tahn, various sauces for dishes made with local greens, and soups.
