Bhutanese Yak-Milk Datshi

Bumthang, Bhutan

A soft, farmhouse-style cheese made from yak or cow milk in Bhutan's high-altitude valleys, sold fresh rather than aged.

Why it matters

Datshi melts into a soft curd rather than a stretchy one, which is exactly what lets it thicken ema datshi's chili-and-cheese sauce instead of turning stringy.
