Prostokvasha is one of the oldest fermented milk drinks, which has been an integral part of Russian cuisine for centuries. It was made in peasant homes using natural milk and simple starter culture. Tender, slightly sour, with a light creamy hue – it refreshes excellently and quenches thirst. Prostokvasha has probiotic properties that improve digestion and strengthen immunity. It can be consumed chilled, added to baked goods, or used in sauces and marinades. This drink preserves the warmth of home comfort and the traditions of ancestors, passed down from generation to generation.
