Stamen Grigorov was a Bulgarian student of medicine in
Geneva and was the first to examine the microflora of the
Bulgarian yogurt in 1905. He described it as consisting of a rod-
like lactic acid-producing bacteria.
Russian Nobel laureate and biologist Ilya Mechnikov was
influenced by Grigorov's work and hypothesized that regular
consumption of yogurt was responsible for the unusually long
lifespans of Bulgarian peasants. As a result, he worked to
popularize yogurt throughout Europe.
Inspired by Ilya Mechnikov, Greek-born Isaac Carasso opened
a small yogurt business in Barcelona in 1919 and named it after
his son, Daniel. The brand later expanded to the rest of Europe
as well as the US.
