20+ years ago it was possible to make a "sour milk=fermented milk; in English probably butter milk" by letting it stand overnight or for more time as needed
it was also possible to make a delicious home made cheese (=tvaroh; in English quark) from the same fermented milk
around the same time in Canada it was impossible to do this from store bought milk - the milk would go bitter and never would ferment
I am not sure how now but I am guessing even the milk production in Europe did change and i wonder if this is still possible (to make fermented milk)
