Most typical food Bulgarian Yogurt. In the beginning of this century, West European scientists (physicians and chemists) made a large study of Bulgarian food, motivated by the long average lifetime of people in Bulgaria. At that time Bulgaria was the country with the biggest number of people over 100 yrs old in the world! Their hypothesis was that this is due to the local yogurt (Lactus Bulgaricus) consumed in big amounts. These results drove attention in West Europe to this type of food and yogurt came in vogue. In this sense Bulgaria can be considered as the homeland of yogurt (though the name is turkish). Bulgarian yogurt is exported in many countries in the world, and is especially well known for example in Japan.
