A: The high level of beneficial bacteria, combined with the lengthy incubation period, gives our yogurt its signature tartness. During fermentation, bacteria consume lactose in the milk and produce lactic acid—hence, the acidic flavor. The modern yogurt industry has altered traditional yogurt to obtain a more marketable taste and consistency. Mild yogurt, coupled with added sweeteners, stabilizers, and thickeners, has become the norm. Most commercial yogurts are more like a pudding or ice cream-like dessert instead of a staple food product.

Authentic Bulgarian Yogurt
A: The Bulgarians have been making and eating yogurt for millennia. Many Eastern European peoples are descendants of nomads who lived on the fermented milk of their domesticated animals. The Bulgarians were known for their longevity, and studies have suggested their robust health was due to regular consumption of yogurt. Bulgarian yogurt became popular as one of the original health foods in the early 20th century due to these studies. The beneficial bacteria found in the Bulgarians’ traditional yogurt carry their name, L. Bulgaricus. These same beneficial bacteria are the foundation of our yogurt. The use of traditional methods of inoculation, fermentation, and storage in glass containers produce a yogurt virtually identical to the Bulgarian yogurt of Eastern Europe and many traditional yogurts from around the world, including Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the Mediterranean region.

“Love White Mountain”
I fed my 7 month old some yogurt for the first time yesterday. I was looking for unsweetened whole milk yogurt throughout the town and finally found White Mountain at Fresh Market. I like it is in a glass jar instead of a plastic one. The first bite got the little one! Then I mixed it with mashed banana and he loved it! Baby doesn’t need any sugary yogurt. Plain is all that they need! Love White Mountain. - Xiaofen

Only Beneficial Bacteria
A: We never pasteurize our yogurt. However, the milk we use to make our yogurt is pasteurized before we add the yogurt culture. The federal government requires pasteurization to ensure that milk products do not transfer harmful bacteria to consumers. The primary consumers of milk and milk products are the very young and the very old, two segments of the population most susceptible to food-borne pathogens.
