Batch details

Family, pasture and milk test.

Herder families in Khentii and Tuv churn yak milk into cheese in summer camps. We record each batch's herder family, pasture and ageing shelf, so a buyer knows where the milk grazed and how long the cheese aged.

Herder family

Each batch names the herder family and the summer camp it came from.

Pasture record

The pasture area and the grazing season are written on the batch.

Milk test

A milk-type test confirms the cheese is yak milk, and the result is kept on the line.
