Many people confuse the Balkan style and Bulgarian yogurt starter.

Please be careful here - The juice extracted starter contains a blend of bacteria that have been grown and extracted from rich in protein juice. However, it works best with dairy milk and SOY or Cashew milk. It contains Lactobacillus Gasseri and Lactobacillus Rhamnosus, Bifidus infantis, Bifidus adolescentis, Bifidus breve, Bifidus longum, Bifidobacterium adolescentis, Streptococcus Thermophilus, Lactobacillus Acidophilus.
It delivers creamy and mild yogurt. Can be used with coconut, or almond milk, but the way of making is slightly different and with no thickeners would not be solid.

(A blend of Lactic acid bacteria and yeast)
Contains a blend of the following Lacto-bacteria and yeast: Lactococcus lactis ssp. cremoris, Lactococcus lactis ssp.lactis, Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis biovar diacetylactis, S. Thermophilus, Lactobacillus Bulgaricus, Lactobacillus kefir, Lactobacillus parakefir, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Kluyveromyces lactis.
The texture depends on the temperature of the incubation.
If you incubate at room temperature - the texture will be more liquid. If you incubate with a yogurt maker - the texture will be more yogurt-like.
After a few re-cultivations with ready kefir and milk, you should start noticing small grains. You can separate them at this stage and use them as a starter. The grains gradually will increase in size and number and will become your own :)

There is no ''Lactobacillus Bulgaricus'' in this starter and the taste is very mild even after a few recultivations.
Like the previous kefir type, this also can grow grains when made under ideal conditions.
