préség

Préség refers to a traditional fermented dairy product originating from the Caucasus region, particularly popular in Armenia. It is a type of yogurt or sour milk product, often made from sheep's or cow's milk. The fermentation process gives préség its characteristic tangy flavor and thick, creamy texture. It is typically consumed fresh, often as a standalone food, or used as an ingredient in various dishes, including soups and sauces. The method of preparation involves allowing the milk to ferment at room temperature or a slightly elevated temperature, often using a starter culture derived from a previous batch. Variations in préség exist across different communities, influenced by local milk sources and traditional practices. It is valued for its nutritional content and its probiotic properties.
