Buffalo Set Yoghurt
Buffalo set yoghurt is pot-set water-buffalo milk yoghurt with a dense, glossy white gel and mild sweet dairy aroma. South Asian buffalo dahi and specialty Italian buffalo yoghurt share this lush set; acidity is often gentler than sharp cow Balkan pots unless cultures are driven hard. Spoon as a rich plain side or breakfast. Ideal for lassi when whisked with ice and spices. Heat carefully—high fat can separate if boiled. A little sweetness at the table highlights the milk rather than fighting it.
