The rich history of yogurt in Bulgaria lends pride to these healthy people. Bulgaria’s long and affectionate relationship with yogurt dates back to the Thracians, ancient inhabitants of the Bulgarian lands, when stock-breeders placed sheep’s milk in lambskin bags around their waists, and fermented yogurt using their own body heat. Being credited as the inventor is not Bulgaria’s only source of yogurt pride; it also produces the healthiest yogurt in Europe, thanks to unique bacteria native to the country.
