Experience Details
This is not just a yogurt tasting – it’s a cultural journey set inside the ancient Roman ruins of Serdica, in the very heart of Sofia.
You’ll taste authentic Bulgarian yogurt made from cow, sheep, goat, and buffalo milk – each served with carefully chosen pairings such as sourdough bread, honey, and homemade pastries.
What makes this experience truly unique is the blend of flavor and culture: while you enjoy the tasting, a young local host with a passion for history shares the thousand-year story of yogurt, from Thracian roots to its role in Bulgarian identity today. You’ll also hear about Lactobacillus bulgaricus – the remarkable bacteria found only in this region, long believed to hold the secret to health and longevity.
Hosted in a venue where centuries of history surround you, this experience is perfect for food lovers, families, and curious travelers seeking something authentic. It’s a taste of Bulgaria you’ll remember long after your visit.
