01 / OUR ROOTS

From our valley,
to your table.

For millennia, the Mother Tuul has nourished the Mongolian steppe. Our story begins here, with free-grazing herds, generations of pastoral knowledge, and milk shaped by wild pasture.

We bring that heritage into a new era of cheesemaking. Swiss-European processing and carefully controlled maturation transform rich steppe milk into Gouda, Cheddar, Mozzarella, and distinctive aged cheeses.

012–4°C

Milk collection

Milk from pastoral cooperatives is collected twice daily. Intake testing checks fat, protein, microbial quality, and antibiotic residue before cold storage.

0272°C · 15 sec

Gentle pasteurization

Centrifugal clarification and precise fat standardization prepare the milk. Plate heat exchangers gently pasteurize each batch.

0330–45 min

Culture & coagulation

Selected Lactococcus and Lactobacillus cultures and natural rennet transform milk into a firm curd in closed cheese vats.

045–10 mm

Cutting & separation

Precision harp wires cut the curd. Controlled stirring and heating separate the whey for recovery and further processing.

05Precision formed

Pressing & brining

Micro-perforated molds and pneumatic presses shape each cheese before a temperature-controlled brine bath develops flavor and rind.

0610–14°C

Aging & packaging

Cheeses mature at 85–95% humidity for 1 to 24 months, then are portioned and vacuum sealed for distribution.
