This is a favourite of all Mongolians! Made of drained sour milk that has been left outside to dry and then served as a kind of desert.
For those of you that have tried clotted
cream you will find the flavour very similar, for those of you that
haven’t its naughty, fatty, awesome cream!
This was one of Tommo’s favourites in Mongolia.
Yaks Butter
This is a very salty, strong flavoured butter made from….yaks milk. Just
as a heads up the families do tend to make this in large batches in
order to save for the winter months, however due to the lack of
refrigeration in gers the butter is kept inside sheep stomach to
preserve it. Thats right! They pack it into a sheep stomach, sew it up
and leave it in a cool place! You can almost taste the stomach acid! If
this makes you squeamish it may be best to avoid.
