:rolleyes: the smell of it makes me want to gag, and putting any in my mouth makes me actually gag. It’s quite an incentive to avoid any other “strong” cheeses.

We had some very tasty yak cheese in Kathmandu. Liked it so much that we brought a load home with us.

I definitely agree with **pulykamell** here - to me it tastes sweet and quite mild.

However, do NOT eat it if you have a canker sore in your mouth. It has the ability to hunt out those sores and stick to them. Also, if you drop it on the floor, pick it up before it dries. The Norwegian road authorities are considering using this stuff to fix potholes.

I tried some camel cheese in Saudi - dry, bitter, salty and crumbly plus you can’t have a glass of red with it so I’ll not be looking out for it in future.
