Creamy yoghurt is a real pleasure for young and old. Whether with or without fruit, with chocolate chips or crispy cereal flakes, yoghurt is available in countless varieties. This is why it is so popular around the world. The tasty dairy product was discovered by Turkic peoples from Central Asia between the 6th and 4th centuries BC. By pure chance! Milk carried around the waist in bags made from lambskin turned into yoghurt owing to the body heat and microorganisms. And it was a real treat, as yoghurt fans have proved. In 2013, every German consumed 17 kilogrammes of yoghurt on average.
