1. A method for manufacturing a fermented dairy product, wherein:
the method comprises:
a) inoculating a milk substrate with a Lactobacillus plantarum strain which is the strain DSM32493 deposited at the DSMZ on Apr. 26, 2017, or a variant of the DSM32493 strain deposited at the DSMZ on Apr. 26, 2017 with a genome sequence identity of at least 95% to the genome sequence of the DSM32493 strain, wherein the variant is produced by spontaneous mutation or genetic engineering of the DSM32493 strain, and
b) fermenting the inoculated milk substrate to obtain a fermented dairy product; and
the Lactobacillus plantarum strain is characterized as, when inoculated into milk, generating a fermented milk that exhibits the following rheological features, as assayed by test A:
a) a shear stress measured at shear rate 11.6 s-1 higher than 30 Pa,
b) a shear stress measured at shear rate 200 s-1 higher than 60 Pa, and
c) a difference of the shear stress measured at 146 s 1 minus the shear stress measured at 41.1 s-1 higher than 12.
