chhurpi
Chhurpi is a traditional cheese made from the milk of yaks or cows, primarily found in the Himalayan regions of Nepal and Tibet. It is known for its hard texture and unique flavor, which can vary depending on the milk source and production methods. Chhurpi is often enjoyed as a snack and is popular among local communities for its nutritional value.
The cheese is typically made by boiling milk, curdling it, and then pressing the curds into blocks. Once dried, it becomes very hard and can be chewed for a long time. Chhurpi is not only a staple food but also a part of the cultural heritage in the regions where it is produced.
