Bumthang Yak Dairies

Bumthang, Bhutan

High-altitude farmhouse dairies producing a soft, unaged cheese from yak or cow milk, sold fresh rather than held for aging, in keeping with how datshi has traditionally been made across Bhutan's valleys.

Pema Wangmo

Makes datshi fresh each morning from her family's small yak herd, the same routine her mother followed in the same valley.

By the time it would need refrigeration, it's already someone's lunch.

Our sourcing philosophy

Sold fresh, used fast — this cheese was never meant to sit in storage.
