Signification
Unflavored white yogurt.
Contexte culturel
The 'Selský jogurt' (Farmer's yogurt) is a specific type of white yogurt that is very popular. It is thicker because it ripens in the cup rather than being stirred in a large vat. In the Czech Republic and Slovakia, white yogurt is often used as a base for 'vlašský salát' (a type of potato/mayo salad) to make it lighter during the summer months. The 'Jogurtová bábovka' is a classic Bundt cake where bílý jogurt is the star ingredient, ensuring the cake stays moist for days. There is a strong 'BIO' (organic) movement in Czechia, and 'BIO bílý jogurt' is often the first product people switch to when trying to eat more sustainably.
