Traditional Eastern European
Kefir is a very traditional Eastern European fermented dairy product made with yeast. It is an integral part of the diet not least in Russia and the Ukraine.
Health promoting qualities
Kefir in itself is known for its health promoting qualities, but newly developed culture solutions that include probiotic bacteria make it is possible to make a Kefir with a milder taste and longer shelf life. This kind of product, often known as Bio-Kefir, is doing very well in Eastern Europe.
