Matzoon (matsoon, matsoun,matzoun, madzoon, madzoun macun, matson, matsoni) (Template:Lang-hy, Georgian: მაწონი mats'oni) is a fermented milk product of Armenian origin.[1][2][3] Found in Caucasian cuisine, particularly in Armenia[4] and Georgia.[5] It is very similar to yogurt.
It is made with Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus lactic acid bacteria.[6]
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.
Etymology
The name of the product originates from Armenian matz (sour, glue) [7][8][9]. The product is widely mentioned by medieval Armenian writers, e.g. Grigor Magistros (XI c.), Hovhannes Erznkatsi (XIII c), Grigor Tatevatsi (XIV c.), etc.[9] Already Grigor Magistros, in his «Definition of Grammar», gives the correct etymology of the word[10].
