Trimona is an organic product made entirely from milk and is GMO-free, gluten-free and sugar-free, says Dairy Foods. The milk used for the production of the yogurt is American, but Trimona uses the Bulgarian ferment lactobacillus bulgaricus. First identified in 1905 by the Bulgarian doctor Stamen Grigorov, the ferment feeds on lactose to produce lactic acid, which is used to preserve milk and to produce yogurt.
This is not the first time Trimona receives recognitions. In 2014 it reached the finals of the prestigious competition “Made in America”, organized by the famous US TV host Martha Stewart.
The unique lactobacillus bulgaricus is used in the production of the traditional Bulgarian yogurt. Like the yeast used for bread dough, it can be transported in a container and to be used in milk production in different countries. The uniqueness of Trimona hides in the perfect selection and balance of the right combination of Lactobacillus strains.
