Natural yogurt should be made only from natural milk and sourdough. Its homeland is the Balkan Peninsula, or rather, ancient Thrace - the territory of modern Bulgaria, the very same word of Turkish origin, literally means "condensed". On the other hand, many peoples have similar dairy products: matsoni, dahi, katyk. Yogurt can be prepared not only from cow's milk, but also from goat's or sheep's milk. If yogurt is poured into a colander lined with gauze and hung for several hours to drain the whey, the so-called filtered yogurt or yogurt cheese will be obtained. It is this product that is called Greek yogurt, and in the Middle East - laban.
