Armenian dairy products

Matzoon (, matsun, or ) or matsoni (, ''mats'oni'') is a fermented milk product of Armenian origin found in Armenia and Georgia. The Caspian Sea yogurt commercialized in Japan is said to be the same type of yogurt as matzoon, but a comparison of microbiota and viscosity found that the two are entirely different. Georgian matsoni has been a protected geographical indication in Georgia since 24 January 2012.
