Buffalo Yogurt of Kerkini

The buffalo yogurt produced in the Kerkini area, in the Serres Prefecture, is one of Greece's most exquisite and unique dairy products. The Kerkini Lake and the surrounding region are renowned for buffalo farming, which has been a tradition since ancient times. The buffaloes graze in the rich, moist pastures of the area, contributing to the exceptional quality of the milk.

Kerkini buffalo yogurt is characterized by its rich, creamy texture, intense flavor, and high fat content. Compared to yogurt made from cow or sheep milk, buffalo yogurt is richer in protein and calcium, offering significant nutritional benefits.

The yogurt is made using traditional methods, preserving the authenticity of its taste and the quality of the product. The milk is collected from buffaloes raised in the region, with no added preservatives or artificial ingredients. The natural production process results in a distinctive "skin" forming on the surface, which is particularly appreciated by consumers.

In recent years, Kerkini buffalo yogurt has gained significant popularity both in Greece and internationally, thanks to its unique flavor and numerous health benefits. It is a product closely linked to the local tradition and cultural heritage of the area, serving as an excellent example of how local traditions and natural resources can contribute to the creation of high-quality products.
