Himalayan Yak Dog Cheese

Himalayan Yak Dog Cheese

 

Yak cheese, also called ‘Churpi’ in Nepal, is known as the hardest cheese in the world. It has a long history in the Himalayan region of Asia, where it has been tended and consumed by nomadic herders for thousands of years. It’s a staple in the diet of many communities living in the Himalayan region, particularly Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal, and parts of India and China.

Its high nutritional value and ability to last for long periods of time without refrigeration make yak cheese ideal for the harsh and remote regions where it is produced. Notably, it is also used in traditional medicine for health benefits, such as aiding with stomach disorders, high blood pressure, and fatigue.

The unique yak cheese bacterial starter culture results in a highly active coagulation process, supported by a long ageing period, creating a particularly durable product well-suited to the purpose of creating tasty, long-lasting dog chew treats. The resulting yak cheese chew stick is not only a healthy and high-protein dog treat, but it also does not disintegrate, making it perfect for dogs who love to chew for extended periods.

Water is pressed out of the cheese before it is air-dried, with small amounts of salt and lime juice used to accelerate coagulation. Cow’s milk is an effective substitute for limited supplies of yak milk, and the use of the same bacterial culture and process creates a similarly beneficial product, high in protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals.

Our Yak cheese chew stick is made by hand on the Indian side of the Himalayas by farmers with generations of experience in the craft of making this traditional natural dog chew. Whether you need dog treats for puppies, small dogs or large dogs, they are durable and provide a satisfying chew experience.
