Bulgarian yoghurt · Plovdiv
Bulgarian yoghurt is the original Lactobacillus bulgaricus culture: thick, tangy, eaten as breakfast, dressing for tarator, condiment for sarmi and base for ayran.
Stamen Grigorov isolated Lactobacillus bulgaricus in 1905 at a Geneva laboratory, and the bacterium gives Bulgarian yoghurt its characteristic tang and texture. Bulgaria built a yoghurt export industry on the discovery; the country's centenarians were once attributed to daily yoghurt consumption, and the live-culture pots remain a fixture on every Plovdiv breakfast table.
