There are an enormous range of milk-related products here, and special milk/moloko/молоко shops. Many of which look almost exactly the same to the untutored eye, and seem to only be across the limited range from milk to yoghurt to very mild ricotta/curd cheese. The Moscow News recently published a list of the top 15 diary products extolling the virtues of these various items - Smetana at the top, then Kefir, Tvorog, Toplyonoye moloko, Syrok, Ryazhenka, Vologod Butter, Prostokvasha, Sgushchyonoye moloko, ice cream, cheese, Ayran, brynza, Snezhok and Plavleny syr. So that is some more useful information for you.
Pictured is an unexpected example- not on the Moscow News list - which is actually going to be one of the things I will miss if/when I leave Moscow; a chocolate coated cream cheese bar. Yum!
Oh - and it is like a tiny choc ice you find in the fridge next to - the milk products!

My youngest daughter loves those yogurt/chocolate bars. They are quite nice. And a Dannon product, but not one I have seen anywhere else.
ReplyDeleteyou can find those now in the shops catering to russians in New York, New jersey and I presume in many other cities all over the world where emigrants live, may be in London as well.
