Buttermilk is also called butanica or mutan. It is a milk drink, similar to kefir, traditional for Bulgaria. But in no case should be confused with kefir. It is obtained in the process of home-extracted butter obtained from equal amounts of fresh and yoghurt.
In the most common version it is made from cow's milk, but it is possible to make it from goat's, sheep's and buffalo's milk. The difference with kefir is in its thicker consistency and the presence of a higher percentage of fat. Store mainly in cool places.
The taste of fresh buttermilk is sweet, but after a day or two fermentation acquires its typical sour-sharp taste. In the past, buttermilk was widespread, especially in the summer months. In recent years, however, this drink has been replaced by kefir, mainly due to the industrialization and increase in the share of urban population, as well as because of the easier and faster way of preparation.
