About Turkish yogurt

Turkish yogurt, known as "yoğurt" in Turkey, is a creamy, protein-rich dairy product that plays a central role in Turkish cuisine. Made by fermenting milk with live bacterial cultures, it boasts a slightly tangy flavor and smooth texture. Turkish yogurt is often thicker than regular yogurt, resembling Greek yogurt, and can be enjoyed plain, as a savory condiment, or incorporated into dishes like soups, marinades, and desserts. Nutritionally, it is a great source of protein, calcium, probiotics, and Vitamin B12, supporting digestion and bone health. Its live cultures promote gut health, while the high protein content makes it a filling option. However, its fat content can vary, with full-fat versions being more calorie-dense than low-fat options. This yogurt is a versatile food, celebrated for its wholesome qualities and for bringing a touch of Mediterranean flair to meals.
