fermented milk
Bacteria-soured dairy drink
Fermented milk is milk that has been cultured with bacteria or yeasts, transforming its sugars into acid or alcohol.

Fermentation thickens the milk, adds tang, and extends shelf life.
Fermented milk products are staples in cuisines from the Caucasus to Scandinavia.
