Abstract
Yogurt having a reduced increase in acidity and bitterness during storage at ambient temperature is produced by fermenting milk with Streptococcus thermophilus and a Lactobacillus bulgaricus strain which has low proteolytic activity and allows a DNA-DNA hybridization of from 80 to 100%. A thickening strain of Streptococcus thermophilus may be used. The yogurt may be packed under sterile conditions and stored at about 20.degree. C.
