Exhibition
Fermented Dairy Traditions of the Poltava Region
Poltava Museum of Folk Gastronomy
The upcoming exhibition-practicum is devoted to the unique dairy culture of the Poltava region — historically a powerful livestock area. The exposition documents the production of classical fermented dairy products: kyslyak on natural starter, ryazhanka from baked milk, varenets simmered in the oven, prostokvasha with sour-cream starter, cheese milk from home cows. A separate section covers ceramics for dairy work: Opishne potters' hlechyks, makitras for cream collection, wooden butter-churners, home cheese forms. The programme is supplemented by tastings from 1900s recipes and lectures on microbiology of natural starters, fermentation biochemistry, and regional taste variations depending on pasture type.
