Caspian Sea Yogurt is NOT <strong>Kefir</strong>. According to Kaoru Akatani, a senior<br />
researcher at the Louis Pasteur Center for Medical Research, who<br />
conducted a study on Caspian Sea yogurt made at more than 20<br />
households, research shows that CSY has two major bacteria;<br />
lactococcus cremoris and gluconobacter sp.Lactococcus cremoris turns<br />
milk into yogurt with or without oxygen present, and result in the<br />
yogurt's unique viscosity. Gluconobacter sp., multiplies only in the<br />
presence <strong>of</strong> oxygen, and help lactococcus cremoris multiply.<br />
Lactococcus cremoris multiply most at 20 C (68 oF) to 30 C, (86 oF)<br />
which falls within the range <strong>of</strong> normal room temperatures and does not<br />
have to be cooked or go through lenghtly preparation as regular<br />
yogurt. You don't even need a yogurt maker.
