The yoghurt production method involves milk normalisation, milk mixture purification, pasteurisation, cooling to the fermentation temperature, fermentation, ripening, stirring and cooling till the clot homogeneous consistency and specified temperature. In the process of fermentation one introduces a complex food additive including lactic acid, sodium lactate, calcium lactate and glycerine in an amount of 0.6-1.0 % of the produced product weight. In the process of the produced clot stirring and cooling one introduces calcium lactate in an amount of 0.2- 0.6 % of the produced product weight. The complex food additive components are taken at a specified ratio.
