Organic Caspian Sea Yoghurt Starter (Matsoni): A Timeless Tradition for Gut Health

Discover the exquisite taste and health benefits of Organic Caspian Sea Yoghurt, also known as Matsoni. This unique yoghurt, originating from the Caucasus and Caspian Sea regions, has been revered for centuries for its distinct flavour and powerful health properties.

What is Matsoni?

Matsoni, often called the “yoghurt of longevity,” is a mesophilic yoghurt known for its gentle fermentation process at moderate temperatures (20–25°C). Unlike thermophilic yoghurts that ferment at higher temperatures, Matsoni retains a smoother texture and a subtle, tangy taste, preserving essential probiotics crucial for gut health.

Historical Legacy

Matsoni has deep roots in the diets of Caucasus inhabitants renowned for their longevity and vitality. Traditionally fermented in clay pots, this creamy yoghurt was cherished for its nourishing qualities and delicious flavour. Its enduring popularity reflects its health benefits and cultural significance.

Health Benefits

Organic Caspian Sea Yoghurt is packed with probiotics, vital for maintaining a balanced gut microbiome. Scientific research underscores the benefits:

  • Improved Digestion: Probiotics in Matsoni aid lactose digestion, making it easier on the stomach for those with lactose intolerance. They also promote regular bowel movements and alleviate bloating and constipation symptoms.(Reference: Effect of fermented milk containing Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota on constipation among women in Singapore, Journal of Digestive Diseases, 2020)
  • Enhanced Immunity: A robust gut microbiome supports a strong immune system, helping to defend against infections and harmful pathogens.(Reference: Probiotics and immune health, Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, 2021)
  • Nutrient Absorption: The fermentation process enhances nutrient bioavailability, ensuring your body absorbs more essential vitamins and minerals from your diet.(Reference: The impact of probiotics and prebiotics on mineral metabolism, Current Nutrition Reports, 2017)

Why Choose Organic Caspian Sea Yoghurt?

Our Organic Caspian Sea Yoghurt is crafted from premium organic milk, ensuring a pure product free from pesticides and additives. Each batch is meticulously prepared to preserve the integrity of its probiotics, offering you a delicious and nutritious addition to your daily diet.

Enjoy Matsoni in Various Ways

Matsoni can be savoured on its own, paired with fresh fruits and honey, or used as a base for smoothies and salad dressings. Its versatility makes it a delightful and healthy option for any meal.

Lumpy Bumpy Goodness

It get's a little lumpy, you can't really get it on your spoon, but this stuff is great in a smoothie. My kids used to drink Yop but these days I mix berries with Caspian, chill it, and they can't get enough. Dead easy to make and look after too.
