Mongolians cherish the arrival of spring, as it brings the first dairy delight after the long, harsh winter – yogurt. This prized delicacy holds a special place in their culture, and they save the last yogurt as a dried version to use as a starter for the new year's batch. This ancient method ensures the healthiest yogurt, containing around 30 different types of beneficial bacteria, far surpassing the limited bacteria found in manufactured yogurt. With an abundance of milk sources from goats, sheep, cows, and even camels, Mongolians create a diverse array of delicious yogurt.
