Ideal for health-conscious millennials seeking to recreate traditional kiselo mlyako with consistent, fresh batches every time. ## Description Myth or Not? Many people ask if it is true that the famous Lactobacillus Bulgaricus bacterium is found only in Bulgaria. The correct answer is no - you can grow the bacteria in different parts of the world (in fact many people do). What is unique about the Bulgarian strain is that only in Bulgaria it preserves its qualities in further generations of the same strain, i.e. if you use your previous yogurt to start your new batch. If this is how you make your yogurt outside Bulgaria, you will notice that after a batch or two, the yogurt loses its unique taste, physical appearance and qualities. Why this happens, scientists are not sure. It is often contributed to the unique climate of the region but there's more to creating the perfect conditions for Lactobacillus Bulgaricus than the environment. So how can you prepare Bulgarian yogurt abroad? The answer is simple - use a dried-freeze yogurt starter culture with live Lactobacillus Bulgaricus that was produced in Bulgaria. Use a new culture with every batch of yogurt you make to preserve the unique taste and qualities of the yogurt. In this way you can achieve the traditional taste of kiselo mlyako (кисело мляко) similar to the one our grandmothers used to make, guaranteed. Review: Mixed results but very satisfactory outcome - I’ve bought two boxes of Bifido yogurt starter culture and made many batches of yogurt either with a starter envelope or with yogurt made with a starter envelope; the first box consistently produced excellent results. I bought a 2nd box in August 2022 through desertcart (expiry of July 2024) and used the first envelope this week and … nothing. The milk was still milk in my yogurt maker 8 hours later. Used fresh milk, sterilized all my equipment, boiled the milk to the standard temp and cooled before adding the starter … did everything as I always do. Thought, well, there has to be a first failure for everything; tried again, same results. Thinking I got a “bum box”, I wrote to the company to describe the issue; they responded quickly and thoughtfully, working with me to find an acceptable solution. Ultimately it wasn’t clear if the starter was in fact ineffective or if it was my process at fault; however, the company acted in good faith and refunded my money. I would recommend this product and this business. Review: Very well conceived product. I don't give 5 stars often. - This product (my recipe below) contains healthful cultures my research says you should be eating, especially during and after oral antibiotics. These starters are super dependable in my hands. There are instructions for re-use, but I use new cultures each batch. Even so, it gives me better than store yogurt at less than half the price. I use the yogurt in everything from cereal to smoothies and as a topping. I use a gallon of this yogurt every few weeks. If you are what you eat, I'm now cultured. I boil each gallon 1% milk with 2 cups nonfat dry milk and 2T gelatin. I use organic milk when available. When temp drops to 114F, mix in well two envelopes culture and keep 105-114F 7h. Perfect sterility not required but I am careful not to contaminate it. If you like tartness, you can leave it at room temp overnight. I prefer it within an hour or two of completion. To check if it's finished, you can see the yogurt has withdrawn a little from the whey and acts solid on tilting the culture vat. After testing it set (it always has for me), I scoop into quart take-out containers and refrigerate. At this point, it is heavenly. My worst batch, I used slightly sour milk. Yogurt was more goopy than usual, faintly butyric acidy, but still better than store bought. ## Features - Use with all kinds of yogurt makers and whole milk - Contains live active bacteria like ''Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. Bulgaricus'' and ''Streptococcus thermophilus'' - One sachet is enough to make 1 quart of plain, mild in taste yogurt and re-cultured after - Contains blend of live active Bifidobacteria like ''Bifidobacterium bifidum'', ''Bifidobacterium infantis'', ''Bifidobacterium longum'' - Pure bacterial blend of cultures made in laboratory environment away from additives, maltodextrin, gluten and GMO. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00XLCXFMY | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #70,210 in Grocery ( See Top 100 in Grocery ) #20 in Yogurt Starters | | Brand | Natural Probiotic Selection | | Brand Name | Natural Probiotic Selection | | Container Type | Pack | | Cuisine | Bulgarian | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 153 Reviews | | Diet Type | Gluten Free | | Diet type | Gluten Free | | Flavor | mild | | Flavour | mild | | Item Form | pack | | Item form | pack | | Manufacturer | Natural Probiotic Selection | | Number of Items | 12 | | Number of Pieces | 12 | | Package information | Pack | | Set Name | 12-pack | | Size | 12 Count (Pack of 1) | | UPC | 700425220280 | | Unit Count | 12 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Natural Probiotic Selection - **Diet type:** Gluten Free - **Flavour:** mild - **Number of Items:** 12 - **Package information:** Pack ## Images ![Yogurt Starter Cultures - Pack of 12 Freeze-dried Culture Sachets for Bifido Yogurt (12) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/816jKodh6UL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mixed results but very satisfactory outcome *by K***E on 27 June 2023* I’ve bought two boxes of Bifido yogurt starter culture and made many batches of yogurt either with a starter envelope or with yogurt made with a starter envelope; the first box consistently produced excellent results.

Change anything and your product quality may vary widely. These are good probiotic strains. Of course, I have no way of knowing what's in the sachets. Also, I generally add a new sachet and 2-3T set aside from the prior batch to my 8 liters 1% milk with gelatin and powdered milk; the culture grows faster with prior batch added, it doesn't consume as much starter (using 1 instead of 2 sachets), and takes many more cycles before product is unpleasantly acid. ## Frequently Bought Together - Yogurt Starter Cultures - Pack of 12 Freeze-dried Culture Sachets for Bifido Yogurt (12) - Yogurt Starter Cultures - Pack of 12 Freeze-dried Culture Sachets for Acidophilus Yogurt (12) - Yogurt Starter Cultures - Pack of 12 Freeze-dried Culture Sachets for Authentic Bulgarian Yogurt (12) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/601655758-yogurt-starter-cultures-pack-of-12-freeze-dried-culture-sachets](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/601655758-yogurt-starter-cultures-pack-of-12-freeze-dried-culture-sachets) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-01*
