Matzoon (also written matsun, madzoon, or macun) is a fermented dairy product made from whole cow's or buffalo's milk, cultured with a live bacterial starter. The result is thicker than drinkable yogurt but less strained than Greek-style yogurt, with a distinctive tart flavor and a smooth, slightly viscous texture.
