Turkish Yogurt🇹🇷 vs Greek Yogurt🇬🇷 #istanbul #greekfood

[ErayDemirel]

The thicker one is also common in Türkiye. Take a look at "süzme yoğurt". It is just about how you save and consume it. Not a national thing.

Yoğurt bizim binlerce yıllık yiyeceğimizdir. İlk yoğurt mayıs yağmurlarıyla sütün mayalanması sonucu ortaya çıkmıştır. Greek Yoğurt denen şey ABD'de bir Türk'ün kurduğu firmayla yayılmış. 450 yıl boyunca bizim hakimiyetimizde yaşayan Yunanistan'ın yoğurdu benimsemesi çok doğal ama onlara ait değil.

Hi Joshua, this comparison lacks some information. We have strained yogurt, and we have more fluid yogurt varieties, so there are quite a few types. I'm sure the Greeks also have many different kinds of yogurt. The best way to compare them is to try 2 or 3 types of yogurt according to your taste and decide accordingly. You're loved, and keep up the good work! We're following you with affection.

Bizdeki Süzme Yoğurt veya Manda Yoğurdu da katı olur. Bizde yoğurdun her çeşidi var. Türk yoğurdu sulu olur diye bi algı yanlış.

Dude “Greek” yoghurt is basically a marketing strategy before Chobani who is also Turk no one knew about it.

[ozzze]

Fun fact ~ The yogurt/yoghurt name origin is Turkish

[daveSUStaine]

Yoğurt kelimesi bile Türkçe'den geliyor hala yunan mi degil mi muhabbeti yapiyolar şaka gibi

[alenkegecik]

the greek yogurt in Turkey is called SÜZME YOĞURT

[SananeOglum-nwul]

Thousand years ago Greeks didn't know yoghurt existed.

Its both turkish the thicker one is called süzme yogurt. You can find iy everywhere it has a high protein ratio. Usally there is 2 sorts. Full and half fat. Full fat one has more protein even like 13g on 100g. But I prefer half fat. Has still a good protein ratio. Usually most people buy süzme yogurt and mix it with a little water because its even thicker than the greek version. Difficult to eat. But we have it for sure

It's not Greek yogurt, it's just thickened yogurt. For some recipes like cacık or ayran calls for a runny yogurt so you add some water to it. And for some recipes like haydari or yağlama, thickened yogurt it needed. It's called süzme yoğurt or torba yoğurdu, which means strained yogurt. This technique was often used to store yogurt for a longer period of time. It wasn't found or used by Greeks, it's used in a lot of Turkish recipes. Greeks don't really have recipes made with yogurt, they just use it as a sauce. Calling it Greek yogurt was just a marketing strategy just like making Santa's clothes red.

As a turkish person myself never really thought about this because we have both kinds but that makes sense. Thanks for the video

[Belegthevarno]

Don't you think we missed how you avoided rating these two against each other. Good job on walking the thin line. Politics might be a good career for you ❤

[cancerr]

as a turkish i was always curious about greek yogurt thanks for this video i finally know why the two is different

[quellepls]

Both are Great. But i would say there are a lot of differnt yogurt in turkey no?

[onurerpul]

Greeks have regular yogurt and strained yogurt (and other varieties unknown to me). Turks have - among other varieties - regular yogurt, clotted yogurt, and strained yogurt (süzme). Each of these yogurts have a variety of functions in both countries. Strained yogurt is waterered down in Turkey for mantı. The only thing we can infer with certainty from the discourse here is that Westerners generally assume, incorrectly, that all strained yogurt is Greek yogurt.

Also, shout out to the Bulgarians, who should be a part of this conversation

[gorkemgurbuz]

There is no “Greek yogurt” they just branded the strained yogurt as “Greek”

[burcukesici]

Biz de tek çeşit değil ki
Bıçakla kesilen Amasra manda yoğurdu var
Ayrıca süzme yoğurt var
O da katı olur

[tevfikagar]

My buddy, they named for marketing. No Greek yogurt. Look, the oldest Greek dictionary, no Greek yogurt, no baklava.But two nations, they leave together more than 5 century. Have 😁

[kalplerindirilisi]

Look lemme give you an explanation
Yoğurt is turkish tradition and is yoğurt coming from central asia.
There is no such a thing as a greek yogurt or turkish yogurt.
Yoğurt is turkish this is it.
Greeks steal our tradition and name it greek yogurt.
