Traditional jar of Matsoni (Georgia)

Matsoni, matson, matsoon, (Georgian: მაწონი mats'oni, Russian: мацони, Armenian: մածուն maçun) is a fermented milk product found in Caucasian cuisine.

It is made with Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus lactic acid bacteria[1]. It supposedly originated from ancient Georgia and later propagated to many neighbor countries, e.g. Armenia.[2]

Matsoni is made from cow's milk (mostly), goat's milk, sheep's milk, or a mix of them and a culture from previous productions.

In Japan, Caspian Sea Yogurt カスピ海ヨーグルト is popular; soy milk is sometimes added to the milk
