00:00Is this the world's best yogurt?

00:03Real Greek yogurt owes its popularity to its thick, creamy consistency.

00:08We'll show you how it's made and how versatile it can be.

00:11But what makes it so special?

00:16It's very sick, yeah.

00:18It's not like the regular yogurt you buy in a super organ.

00:22You can tell me what you think is a super food,

00:24because you have the probiotics in it.

00:26For me, it means health.

00:29We're visiting one of Athens' oldest yogurt producers.

00:33The Stani dairy in the center of the Greek capital

00:36has been making yogurt for almost 100 years.

00:41It's served fresh in the in-house café.

00:44In Greece, yogurt is traditionally made from sheep's milk,

00:47with cows or goat's milk being more recent variants.

00:51Owner Thanasis Karigiorgos learned the secrets of yogurt production

00:55from his parents and grandparents.

00:57The recipe has remained unchanged to this day.

01:00The recipe has remained unchanged to this day.

01:02For this reason, the Stani is an ancient taste,

01:07and a time capsule.

01:09We have yogurt,

01:11which is made for the next yogurt,

01:14and this with its list for the next yogurt.

01:17In the basement dairy, the process is always the same.

01:27We jarred food.

01:31We are eating this tart.

01:33When we grow up,

01:34we'll just mix it a little bit lighter.

01:37We're using the filter.

01:39We're using the vegetable oil.

01:41so that we can get rid of some green bodies, if there are.

01:45In the end, we will cook them at the 90 degrees.

01:50As we get rid of it, we will get rid of one part of the water

01:55and we will have more gala and more garlic.

02:02We will serve them at our Keseadakia.

02:05And since it's cold at 45 degrees,

02:09we will put in the Maagia,

02:11which is the garlic of the previous part.

02:13And the garlic will be at a temperature of 42 degrees

02:17for 3 hours in this area.

02:20It's enough for us to cook.

02:23After 12 hours of cooling, the yogurt is ready.

02:28It is thickened further by draining it through a cloth.

02:32Larger manufacturers use huge sieves or a centrifuge.

02:36Thanasis still does this by hand.

02:41A broad, strained yogurt is known as Greek yogurt.

02:44It mostly uses cow's milk, which produces thin yogurt.

02:49The Greek, traditional food, is always a veryальном food.

03:02With this from the background,

03:03the Greek yogurt in the exterior.

03:08It must be fertile because the new yogurt is not so easy.

03:14It's not so bad that it can be used as a Greek yogurt.

03:20It should be stragist, so it doesn't look like a Greek yogurt.

03:28Real Greek yogurt must be produced in Greece.

03:31If it isn't, it may only be marketed as Greek-style yogurt.

03:39For Argyro Barbarigou, yogurt is part of our homeland.

03:44The TV chef runs her own restaurant,

03:50publishes recipes in books and magazines,

03:53and is active on YouTube.

03:56The Greek yogurt is a very healthy food,

04:00because it has a lot of protein.

04:02For this reason, when they eat yogurt, they eat a lot of yogurt.

04:05It has a lot of metals, ingredients, vitamins.

04:09It helps a lot to drink.

04:11In Greece, yogurt is not only eaten plain,

04:15or combined with sweet ingredients for breakfast or desserts.

04:18It is also an important ingredient in savory cuisine.

04:21One of her favorites is a zucchini tart.

04:24To make it, Argyro first creates zucchini, which forms the base of the dough.

04:28Finely grated zucchini is mixed in a bowl with feta cheese, olive oil, flour, and of course yogurt.

04:35Then the dough is simply spread in an oiled baking pan and baked in the oven for about an hour.

05:04The dough is made deep!

05:05In the oven, it is ready!

05:06All the dough is in this bowl with cheese and cheese.

05:39is, for tourists, a taste experience.

05:48It's the best, the best yogurt I ever eat.
