Cheese from Nepal, Bhutan, Tibet and the Indian Himalaya
Hard chhurpiछुर्पी
Buttermilk or skimmed milk left from butter-making is heated and soured until the casein curdles. The curd is pressed into a block, cut into strips, then smoked over the fire and dried for weeks until it is rock hard. It is chewed slowly, like gum. Made in 7 steps over 35 days – 37 days. The longest step, dry in the air and sun, takes 30 days (Shrestha S.R 2015). Lactobacillus helveticus and Lactococcus lactis do most of the fermenting.
Amounts from a sourceAn improved lab method from Nepal (Shrestha 2015). About 4 kg of chhurpi comes from 100 L of milk. Traditional makers use no fixed amounts.

What makes this one different
Hard chhurpi is soft chhurpi taken further. The pressed curd is cut, smoked and dried until it is rock hard, while soft chhurpi is eaten moist in curries and soups. Unlike Mongolian aaruul, it is made from buttermilk left after butter-making and is dried over a fire.
pH
Churkam: pH 5.71–5.74 for Arunachal cow (11 samples), 5.82–5.87 for Arunachal yak (3 samples), 6.34 for one North Sikkim sample
Soft chhurpi (Sikkim, Darjeeling, Arunachal)The pressed curd is not dried; it is eaten moist in curries and soups.
Dudh churpi (Bhutan, Sikkim, Darjeeling)Yak, dzo or cow milk is set with acid and heat, partly skimmed, pressed overnight and dried by a wood fire for 5–7 days.
Safety
Heat, acid, smoke and drying together keep it stable. Pressed curd holds at least about 55 % moisture, so it must be dried promptly to stop moulds and bacteria from spoiling it.
