Yunnan Goat's Cheese — Rubing Techniques (云南乳饼)
Yunnan Province — Yi, Bai, and highland minority dairy traditions
Yunnan is one of the few places in China with a dairy tradition — rubing (乳饼) is a fresh, pressed goat's or cow's milk cheese made in the Yunnan highlands by the Yi, Bai, and other ethnic minorities. Coagulated with vinegar or lemon juice and pressed to a firm, sliceable cheese, it can be sliced and pan-fried until golden, crumbled into stir-fries, or eaten fresh with salt and chilli. Similar in concept to Indian paneer.
