Yak milk is a nutritious dairy product obtained from the yak, a long-haired bovine found primarily in the mountainous regions of Central Asia. It is rich in fat, protein, and essential vitamins, making it a valuable food source for local communities. Yak milk is often used to make various traditional products, including cheese and yogurt.
The milk has a creamy texture and a slightly sweet flavor, which can vary depending on the yak's diet and environment. Due to its high fat content, yak milk is particularly well-suited for making butter and ghee, which are staples in many Himalayan diets.
