The Birthplace of Yoghurt Bulgaria holds a unique distinction as the only place where Lactobacillus bulgaricus, the bacteria responsible for yoghurt fermentation, naturally occurs. This phenomenon means that leaving milk outside in certain Bulgarian regions can result in the spontaneous formation of yoghurt.

Traditional Bulgarian yoghurt has been an integral part of the national cuisine for centuries, deeply ingrained in the daily diet of the people. It is widely believed that this probiotic-rich food has been a secret to longevity and good health.

The Origins of Probiotics The Bulgarian yoghurt we know today is, in fact, the progenitor of probiotics. In 1905, a Bulgarian medical student, Stamen Grigorov, was the first to discover Bacillus bulgaricus, the lactic acid bacteria used in yoghurt cultures.

During his travels, the Russian Nobel laureate, Ilya Metchnikoff, observed that Bulgarian villagers, despite their impoverished conditions, lived significantly longer than wealthy Europeans. After studying their modest lifestyle, the biologist concluded that the lactobacilli in yoghurt were associated with longevity in the Bulgarian peasant population. This discovery marked the beginning of the probiotic era.
