We completely understand the appeal of using readily available local "dahi" starter, especially when it's free. However, there are distinct advantages to using Bulgarian Yogurt Starter Culture:
Probiotic Diversity: Our Bulgarian Yogurt Starter contains a balanced mix of beneficial bacteria, including Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilus, Bifidobacterium lactis, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and more. This complex blend can offer a wider range of health benefits compared to typical local starters.
Consistency: The culture produces yogurt with a consistent taste and texture, batch after batch, something that can be hard to achieve with a local starter that may vary in its bacterial composition.
Taste & Texture: Bulgarian yogurt is known for its unique tangy taste and creamy texture, which is different from the milder flavor and variable texture of "dahi."
