STARTER CULTURES

Ayran Culture

Besto Ayran Cultures combine traditional taste with modern industrial standards. They provide a fluid yet full-bodied texture, a homogeneous appearance, and a refreshing aroma profile that enhances drinkability. Our cultures possess high stabilization capabilities, preventing serum separation (whey separation), which is a major technical challenge in drinking yogurt production.

Stability & Homogeneity:

The natural viscosity provided by our cultures prevents phase separation during storage and distribution, maintaining a consistent product structure.
