Bulgarian term or phrase: кисело мляко
Един въпрос, който надявам се ще ви се стори интересен. Как да се преведе "кисело мляко" в този контекст - без да се губи от богатството на смисъла на български и като се избегнат отрицателните конотации на дума като "sour" на английски?
Ето и контекста: "Никъде по света няма такова мляко като нашето – всичко навсякъде е сладко, само нашето е кисело мляко. Истинско!"
Ако някой предложи подходящ превод на цялата фраза, ще бъда благодарен!

Tart has the meaning of sour without the negative connotation. It also adds the positive association to something sharp, as in character, spirit or expression. I hope this helps.

Explanation:
Това според мен ще е най удачното префразиране на английския такст. Хем се избягва "киселото", което ще отблъсне доста народи, които не обичат кисело, хем звучи с необходимия за рекламата бодър тон:)

Asker: Наистина, в киселото мляко се слагат добавки от най-различен характер и - макар производителите да не си го признават - на много места то се подслажда.

neutral  Derringdo: I would really not use the word sweetened. I know this is an advertisement but it would be a direct lie. "Sweet" is maybe acceptable.

Още един вариант.

Bulgarian plain yogurt has no equal in the world. Milk is usually sweetened everywhere; ours is not. It even has a unique tangy flavour. It tastes natural.
