PORT JEFFERSON, New York (June 17, 2026) — Attendees at this year's Summer Fancy Food Show will have the opportunity to celebrate heritage through food with Trimona Foods' tasty and tangy Bulgarian yogurt.
Trimona will be in the Deli Pavilion, level 3, at booth 372.
Yogurt got its start in Bulgaria — Lactobacillus bulgaricus, the bacterium that makes yogurt exist, originated there. The superfood has for generations been touted as a factor in the hardiness, health and longevity of the Bulgarian people, well before the food-as-medicine trend caught on.
In 1991, Trimona made its way across the Atlantic thanks to Atanas Valev, who packed two jars of homemade yogurt with the "mother" bacteria in his luggage when he moved to the U.S. The Trimona eaten today stems from those same cultures.
"Yogurt is an important part of Bulgarian culture, and bringing it to the American palate has been a joy," Valev said. "As we continue to grow, we hear from consumers that once they try Trimona, they're fans for life because the tangy taste is both delicious and proof that we're bringing forward a low-sugar dietary staple."
Bulgarian yogurt differs from what most Americans associate with yogurt because it is unstrained — the lack of straining preserves the volume of whey, which provides protein and essential minerals. There are many health benefits to keeping the whey in, including the quick absorption of readily available amino acids, which are the essential building blocks of whey protein.
Trimona is both a whole food and a versatile ingredient; applicable in savory dishes and undoubtedly a smart "everyday" food choice.
Trimona's yogurt is unique in that it uses only A2A2 milk from cows on family farms in Pennsylvania. A2A2 milk is associated with healthier digestion and is often a better option for those who have historically had poor experiences with dairy.
It is also low in sugar, organic, non-GMO verified, gluten-free and kosher.
