Preporuka jogurta koji se u Srbiji koriste kao starter za pravljenje domaćeg grčkog jogurta (Recommendation of yogurts that are used in Serbia as a starter for making homemade Greek yogurt)

Preporučeni jogurti za starter:

1. Običan punomasni jogurt sa živim kulturama (lokalni brendovi)

- Standardni beli jogurt bez dodataka, bez šećera i aroma, sa oznakom žive kulture ili probiotik (obavezno da sadrži aktivne bakterije).

- Najvažniji faktor: što je mleko punomasnije i što više aktivnih kultura, jogurt kao starter će dati gušću i kremastiju teksturu kod kuće.

- Takvi jogurti mogu biti Imlek, Dr. Milk ili slični lokalni punomasni jogurti iz većih marketa ili domaće proizvodnje.

Napomena: biraj uvek one koji na deklaraciji imaju izraženu oznaku “živih kultura/probiotik” — to znači da bakterije nisu pasterizovane i mogu da ferementiraju mleko.

Jogurti sa probiotičkim kulturama

2. Probiolife (Dr. Milk)

- Sadrži probiotske bakterije poput Lactobacillus acidophilus i Bifidobacterium koje doprinose zdravlju creva i imaju aktivne kulture.

- Tekstura: ovakvi jogurti često daju malo gušći završetak nego najosnovniji jogurt, zbog dodatnih kultura, ali nemaju toliko masti — zato se preporučuje da ih kombinuješ sa punomasnim mlekom za bolju kremastost.

Jogurti sa većim brojem bakterija (funkcionalni)

3. Ego (Somboled Lactalis)

- Noviji jogurt na srpskom tržištu sa velikim brojem probiotskih bakterija, pa može biti dobar starter ako je označen kao jogurt sa živim kulturama.

- Tekstura: probiotske kulture mogu da daju bogatiji ukus fermentacije, ali gustina jogurta više zavisi od mlečne masti i brojnih faktora fermentacije.

Sta izbegavati ako praviš domaći grčki jogurt?

❌ aromatizovane jogurte (voćne, sa vanilom, zaslađene) — bakterije su često slabije aktivne

 ❌ jogurte bez „živih kultura“ — oni neće fermentisati mleko kako treba

Savet za najgušći rezultat

✔ koristi punomasni jogurt (najmanje 3,2% masti) kao starter

 ✔ mleko takođe punomasno

 ✔ bira jogurt bez aditiva, kako bi bakterije najbolje radile

Preporučeni jogurti iz prodavnice:

1. Imlek balans+ jogurt (probiotski jogurt)

- obično dostupan u većim marketima

- ima dodate probiotske kulture, što znači da ima više živih bakterija za kulturu jogurta i potencijalno jaču fermentaciju — dobro za kremastu teksturu.

2. Ego natur (somboled / lactalis)

- funkcionalni jogurt sa velikim brojem probiotskih bakterija (preko milijardi po kilogramu), bez dodatnih šećera i aditiva — odličan kao starter jer kulture dobro fermentišu mleko.

3. Obični „beli“ punomasni jogurt (npr. dukat, imlek, moja kravica)

- standardni beli jogurt bez ukusa najčešće sadrži Streptococcus thermophilus i Lactobacillus bulgaricus, koje je propisano i zakonom za jogurt i koji su osnovne kulture potrebne da fermentuju mleko.

- Ove brendove možeš koristiti kao starter ako je deklarisano da imaju žive kulture — najčešće je to slučaj kod običnog belog jogurta (ne aromatizovanog).

Kratke preporuke po ukusu i gustini:

- najgušći / najkremastiji rezultat: punomasni obični jogurt (dukat, imlek) ili probiotik Balans+ + dobar proces fermentacije i cedenje.

- najviše bakterija / snažna fermentacija: Ego natur (funkcionalni jogurt sa probioticima) — često daje živahniju fermentaciju, mada tekstura zavisi i od mlečne masti i temperature fermentacije.

Recommended starter yogurts:

1. Plain full-fat yogurt with live cultures (local brands)

- Standard white yogurt without additives, without sugar and flavorings, labeled with live cultures or probiotics (must contain active bacteria).

- The most important factor: the fuller the milk and the more active cultures, the yogurt as a starter will give a thicker and creamier texture at home.

- Such yogurts can be Imlek, Dr. Milk or similar local full-fat yogurts from larger markets or domestic production.

Note: always choose those that have the marked "live cultures/probiotic" on the declaration — this means that the bacteria are not pasteurized and can ferment the milk.

Yogurts with probiotic cultures

2. Probiolife (Dr. Milk)

- Contains probiotic bacteria such as Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium that contribute to intestinal health and have active cultures.

- Texture: yogurts like this often give a slightly thicker finish than the most basic yogurt, due to additional cultures, but they don't have as much fat — that's why it's recommended to combine them with full-fat milk for better creaminess.

Yogurts with a higher number of bacteria (functional)

3. Ego (Somboled Lactalis)

- A newer yogurt on the Serbian market with a large number of probiotic bacteria, so it can be a good starter if it is labeled as yogurt with live cultures.

- Texture: probiotic cultures can give a richer fermentation taste, but the density of yogurt depends more on milk fat and numerous fermentation factors.

What to avoid if you make homemade Greek yogurt?

❌ flavored yogurts (fruit, vanilla, sweetened) — bacteria are often less active 

❌ yogurts without "live cultures" — they will not ferment milk properly

Tip for the densest result

✔ uses full-fat yogurt (at least 3.2% fat) as a starter 

✔ also full-fat milk 

✔ choose yogurt without additives, so that the bacteria work best

Recommended yogurts from the store:

1. Imlek balance+ yogurt (probiotic yogurt)

- usually available in larger markets

- has added probiotic cultures, which means there are more live bacteria to culture the yogurt and potentially stronger fermentation — good for a creamy texture.

2. Ego natur (somboled / lactalis)

- functional yogurt with a large number of probiotic bacteria (over billions per kilogram), without additional sugar and additives — excellent as a starter because the cultures ferment milk well.

3. Plain "white" full-fat yogurt (e.g. dukat, imlek, moja kravica)

- standard white yogurt without taste usually contains Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus, which is prescribed by law for yogurt and which are the basic cultures needed to ferment milk.

- You can use these brands as a starter if they are declared to have live cultures — this is most often the case with plain white yogurt (not flavored).

Brief recommendations by taste and density:

- the thickest / creamiest result: full-fat regular yogurt (dukat, imlek) or probiotic Balans+ plus good fermentation process and straining.

- the most bacteria / strong fermentation: Ego natur (functional yogurt with probiotics) — often gives a more lively fermentation, although the texture also depends on the milk fat and fermentation temperature.
