Chhurpi

Chhurpi is a traditional cheese common in China, Nepal, and Tibet, made from cow's or yak's milk. It comes in both soft and hard varieties, offering a tangy flavor that is characteristic of this regional delicacy. The cheese has a pale yellow color and a natural rind, which develops during its aging process. Chhurpi is also known by several other names, including Durkha, Chhur singba, Sherkam, and Chhur mingba. The hard version of Chhurpi is often chewed like a snack, while the soft version is used in cooking. Its artisanal production methods reflect the local cheese-making traditions and practices.
