List of fermented milk products

The fermentation process increases the shelf life of the product while enhancing its taste and improving the digestibility of its milk.

[citation needed] There is evidence that fermented milk products have been produced since around 10,000 BC.

[1] A range of different Lactobacilli strains has been grown in laboratories allowing for many cultured milk products with different flavors and characteristics.

These bacteria allow the production of many fermented milks such as cheese, yogurt, kefir, butter [citation needed] Most of the bacteria needed to make these product thrive under specific conditions, meaning that the right environment is crucial to the making of the fermented products.

Many different types of cultured milk products can be found around the world including milk, cheese, yogurt, other cultured dairy foods, ice cream and more.
