Yak Cheese Factory At 3800 Meters High In Nepal
Yak Cheese Factory at 3800 meters high in Nepal in the remote Himalayan village Kyanjin Gompa in Langtang valley national park region in the Himalayas near Tibetan border. The Organic Yak Cheese Production Centre in Kyanjin Gompa is run by Nima Tamang with Swiss origin Alpine cheesemaking techniques. The Alpine-style cheese made with Himalayan yak milk from high altitudes with lack of oxygen got its start from the work of Swiss dairy specialist Werner Schulthess. After the deadly 2015 earthquake the factory reopened with the support of the government of Switzerland in rebuilding it. In the capital Kathmandu yak cheese is considered a delicacy. The produced Yak whole cheese, the wheel of cheese are aligned in a row and stored in a dry place in the storage room while the cheese production tools and a manual scale are in the other room.
