The new production demands lead to necessity of greater modification of technological processes and greater intensification of the entire production process. On one side that indisputably resulted in advantages but on the other side it means rejection of what people call “the taste of good old times” - that bread grandmother used to knead in the wooden bowl and to let it rise under cotton piece of fabric. UNICA BUL was created to return exactly that out-of-date taste. UNICA BUL bread leaven contains a combination of meso- and thermophilic cultures with Lactobacillus bulgaricus as the leading one. The name of this strain of microorganisms originates from Bulgaria. The uniqueness of the product lays in the fact that Lactobacillus bulgaricus lives and proliferates only on the territory of the Republic of Bulgaria. Lactobacillus bulgaricus is the same microorganism that is the reason for the unique taste and medicinal properties of the world known Bulgarian yoghurt. Bulgarian yoghurt was mentioned for the first time in 1664 when the French king Louis XI was cured from incurable for that time stomach disease namely by applying a diet of Bulgarian yoghurt. Products containing Lactobacillus bulgaricus have probiotic properties which suppress “bad”, potentially pathogenic microorganism, and stimulate the development of “good” microorganisms. Thus putrefactive processes in the bowels are suppressed, the immune system is stimulated and ageing processes in organism are retarded. Scientific patents regarding the probiotic properties of Lactobacillus bulgaricus have been appraised to the value of EUR 10 000 000 by a world renowned pharmaceutical concern. World food producers advertise their products with the phrase “with a taste of Bulgarian yoghurt”. UNICA BUL is put in as supplementary culture in the preparation of pre-ferment or directly in dough kneading.
