Cow Set Yoghurt
Cow set yoghurt is cup- or pot-fermented cow’s milk left undisturbed so the gel forms a single tender block. Milder than sheep set styles, it is the familiar Balkan, French pot, and Indian cow dahi format when made from bovine milk. Spoon carefully to preserve the set, or whisk for sauces. Ideal plain breakfast with fruit. Heat gently in cooking. Choose full-fat cow set for best flavour and fewer thickeners.
