Yogurt is a fermented dairy product made by adding bacterial cultures to milk, which causes the transformation of the milk's sugar, lactose, into lactic acid. This process gives yogurt its refreshingly tart flavor and unique pudding-like texture, a quality that is reflected in its original Turkish name, Yoghurmak, which means "to thicken."

a bacteria is added to the milk which is then kep in a warm environment. the bacterias ferments the milk (effectivley souring, hence why many yog products have sugar in them)
