Traditionalist Yogurt

Traditionalist yogurt refers to yogurt made using age-old methods that emphasize natural fermentation. It is typically produced with live bacterial cultures, usually Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus, which ferment lactose into lactic acid, giving yogurt its tangy flavor and creamy texture. Unlike some commercial versions that use additives or shortcuts, traditionalist yogurt focuses on fermentation for flavor, probiotics, and health benefits. It often involves simple ingredients—milk and cultures—and may be made locally or following time-honored traditions, resulting in a product that supports gut health and offers a more natural, authentic taste experience.
