Tangra was established in 1993 to preserve the Bulgarian food making
traditions spanning more than one thousand years of experience. We are
based in the Rhodope Mountains and the Valley of Thrace, in the southern
part of Bulgaria. After the fall of communism, the Stratev family
organized several villages in a co-operative. Located in one of the most
ecologically clean areas of the Balkan Peninsula, the Stratev
co-operative focuses on the preparation of natural milk products with
world-famous nutritional values, such as TANGRA Creamy Sheep’s Milk
Feta, TANGRA Bulgarian Kashkaval, TANGRA Premium Bulgarian Yogurt with
live cultures of Lactobacillus Bulgaricus, TANGRA Yogurt Powder, TANGRA
Bulgarian Cream Cheese, TANGRA Milk Powders and TANGRA Milk Shake
Powders. Our organization uses the high quality rich sheep’s and cow’s
milk of the Rhodope Mountains where the animals range freely on thriving
green pastures. We carefully select the members of our co-operative and
require them to abide by our guiding principles.
The dairy team is built of some of
the best cheese and yogurt masters in Bulgaria, as well as experienced
production and sales managers. There is a strict 24-hour control over
food development, starting from the collection of the raw milk, its
delivery to the dairy, all its laboratory tests, processing, packing,
storage, and preparation for domestic sales and export.
Tangra Group was established as a
U.S. Promotional Office in 2000. It is the first effort, of its kind, to
educate American customers about the health and culinary benefits of
Bulgarian natural foods. We understand the importance of regular
communication with our clients and customers, and we welcome their
continuous feedback.
