Hezar Strained Shallot Yogurt (Mast-o Musir)

Hezar incorporates strictly genuine dried flakes of wild mountain shallots that are hygienically rehydrated and blended into the thick yogurt curd. The manufacturing protocol strictly excludes synthetic liquid flavorings, artificial concentrates, or chemical flavor enhancers.

Advanced mechanical concentration yields an extraordinarily coherent casein protein gel network. This dense spatial matrix firmly entraps water molecules within its microgels, ensuring that even after partial consumer spooning or agitation, the structural gel resists wheying-off.

This product is distributed in 90g/100g single-serve cups for airline and rail catering, 250g and 500g IML tubs for household retail, and 2.5kg to 5kg catering pails designed for high-turnover barbecue houses and culinary operations.

Wholesale accounts and distributors may place consolidated orders across mixed pallets (combining shallot yogurt, skyr, and regular yogurts). The baseline MOQ for direct plant dispatch is 2 full standard pallets, transported via temperature-controlled reefer fleet.

Shallot flakes undergo optical sorting to eliminate foreign matter, followed by multi-stage washing with purified water in stainless tanks. A controlled vacuum-steam pasteurization step eliminates vegetative flora without degrading delicate volatile sulfur aromatics, followed by aseptic dairy blending.

The lipid profile is 100% authentic bovine milk fat, entirely free from hydrogenated vegetable shortenings, palm oils, or non-dairy substitutes. Routine analytical assays confirm trans-fatty acid ratios below 1%, strictly complying with national healthy food labeling mandates.

Wild shallots harvested during optimal seasons are warehoused in controlled atmosphere cold rooms. Each incoming batch is chromatographically graded for alliin/allicin sulfur pungency by R&D, allowing batch blending ratios to be dynamically calibrated for sensory consistency year-round.
