Yogurt
Yoghurt and fermented milk products occurred spontaneously in Central Asia during the Neolithic Age (10,000-2,000 BC), but historians are convinced that yoghurt was also known in the Middle East and India. Turkey is accepted as its land of origin and so it has retained its Turkish name of "yoğurt" in most languages.
Yoghurt is associated with a healthy lifestyle by adding calcium, vitamins and protein to our diet. It is a fermented dairy product made by adding bacterial cultures to milk, which transforms the milk's sugar into lactic acid. The process is considered to be a prestigious tradition in many cultures which is what gives yogurt its characteristic fresh flavor and unique texture. Fantastic on its own, flavored or with fresh fruit.
Yoghurt and yoghurt based drinks has become more popular, it is a healthy snack with calcium, protein, low calories and fine bacteria cultures.
Yoghurt drinks often comes in portion packs, portable and easy to consume on-the-go, a healthy product for quick eating. The yoghurt drinks are often flavored with fruit or fruit juice and can be enriched with vitamins, minerals and prebiotics.
The secret behind thinner yoghurt drinks is stirring after the acid process (fermentation). In this way the consistency becomes more liquid, making it easier to drink - without losing any of its goodness. The fermentation of milk sugar (lactose) produces lactic acid, which acts on milk protein to give yoghurt its texture and taste.
