Cheese

　　Cheese is commonly known as "laodanzizi." It is made by simmering yogurt from which white butter has been separated, then placing it in a cloth bag to squeeze out the sour whey. The remaining curds are dried into crumbly pieces, resulting in laodanzizi. Laodanzizi is one of the most common dairy products and is beloved by the Mongolian people.

　　Laodanzizi has a hard texture and a sour taste, often enjoyed with milk tea and fried rice. When chewed, the sourness is complemented by a fragrant flavor. Among dairy beverages, the main ones include fresh milk, milk tea, womengzi (a type of fermented milk drink), and milk wine.
