Magdalena Maleeva, the well-known tennis player, has opened the bazaar. Her Bio Kiselo Mlyako was the first organic Bulgaria yoghurt to receive a significant market presence, according to Sofia Echo. She has been a key player in bringing organic products to the Bulgarian consumer and in creating a Bulgarian organic label, along with supporting local producers.
