Greek, Bulgarian and Tukish Yogurt – This Is The Difference

Almost every morning we eat a bowl of low-fat yogurt with muesli. It is not special, but just delicious. When I was recently in a ‘wild mood’ and walked through the supermarket, I decided to buy a different kind of yogurt. But once I was standing in front of the yogurt shelf, my wild shower disappeared like snow in the sun. What types of yogurt am I supposed to buy?! Greek, Bulgarian, normal, Turkish or just plain low-fat yogurt.

In the end I safely put the low-fat yogurt in my basket, but with the intention that I will now finally look for the differences. Here’s the difference between Greek, Bulgarian, Normal and Turkish yogurt.

Greek yogurt

Greek yogurt is thicker than regular yogurt and is similar in thickness to sour cream. You can therefore also use it in hot dishes in this way. He is quite fat, no less than 10 percent. Greek yogurt is very tasty with, for example, honey and walnuts.

Bulgarian yogurt

Bulgarian yogurt is also somewhat thicker than normal yogurt, but less thick than Greek yogurt. This makes it also less fat, this variant consists of 5 percent fat. It is a bit softer and less acidic than normal yogurt. Delicious to eat with musli, for example!

Turkish yogurt

There are big differences in the Turkish yogurts that are offered in supermarkets. One Turkish yogurt is similar to regular yogurt, the other is more similar to Greek yogurt. Do you have a thin version and do you want it to be thicker? Then let it drain in a tea towel, like a sort of hangop.

We do not have a nutrition table for this, because there are such big differences. Take a look at the back of the packaging of the container you want to buy!

Do you also often eat yogurt? If so, which do you prefer to use?
