Bulgarian yogurt, in contrast, is also creamy in taste yet it is not as thick as Greek yogurt and contains the Bulgaricus strand of live culture which originated in Bulgaria. The Bulgaricus strand combined with Acidophilous, Thermophilous & Bifidum is the most beneficial in supporting one’s health.
In Bulgaria, yogurt is a staple food. Bulgarians consume it like ketchup and eggs in the US and use it for everyday cooking. Additionally, Europeans understand the power of good bacteria, known as probiotics. They believe that these powerful microbes are essential for supporting one’s digestive system, increasing vitality, and flushing out bad bacteria from the body therefore supporting the immune system.
White Mountain Foods’ Bulgarian Yogurt is made with either Non-Fat or Whole Milk. We also offer a USDA Certified Organic version. It is simply milk and culture with over 90 billion probiotics per 8 ounce serving, the highest probiotic count of any yogurt on the market (Bulgarian or otherwise). Traditional in style, there is no added sugar and it has a distinct tart flavor. For those of us that are used to the sweet taste of flavored yogurt in the morning, a little honey, agave nectar and/or fresh berries will give you that sweetness you crave, naturally.
Stay tuned as we will have a new Greek Yogurt line for sale at grocery stores and natural food markets soon. Presently, restaurants around the Austin area carry our bulk version so you may have already tried it and didn’t even know it.
Doing Keto eating approximately 16 weeks. Use 1/2 cup Bulgarian yogurt, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 2 oz walnuts for perfect keto snack. Provides 71/19/10 fat, protein, carbs ratios. A little tart at first, easy to get used. Love it.
I tried White Mountain yogurt after asking a coffee kiosk at my office what type they used for the berries/yogurt cup they sell. They told me White Mountain and that you could get it at HEB. I did, and have continued to do so ever since. For the first time in my life, I actually LOVE the taste of the yogurt and the texture. It's perfect over berries or marinating chicken. It's simply the only yogurt I have tried that I love to eat every day.
