Balkan yogurt sauce sulini is a traditional Bulgarian sauce with deep historical roots in regional cuisine. It has a delicate, thick texture and a rich sour milk flavor with a slight spiciness that can be varied by adding spices and herbs. Sulini is a versatile addition to dishes: perfect as a dressing for fresh salads, a sauce for meat dishes and baked vegetables, as well as for sandwiches and burgers. In Bulgaria, this sauce is often used in summer cuisine due to its refreshing properties. Handcrafted, it retains natural flavor and beneficial bacteria for digestion.
