Welcome to Mei Xiang Cheese Factory! We are a family-run
cottage factory creating unique artisanal cheeses from yak milk.
Founded in 2004, our factory uses fresh milk brought down
from the pristine, untouched Yunnan mountains each morning. Yaks live only at extremely high altitudes, nourished by grass,flowers and herbs from the mountain sides. Their milk is rich in nutrients and flavor. Having undergone Western cheesemaking training, our cheesemaking family creates distinctive cheeses from their traditional yak milk.
Here at Mei Xiang Cheese Factory, we hope that our innovative
and unique product can also help bring development to our
local villagers by utilizing their most abundant resource- yaks.
If you are planning a visit to Shangri-La, please stop by our recently opened store, 'The Shangri-La Cheese Shop', to try our cheese today. Owned and operated by our Tibetan cheese making family, The Shangri-La Cheese Shop serves a delicious variety of cheese dishes. You can also buy your own wheel of artisanal yak cheese to take home and share with friends and family! Please click on our 'where to buy' link for more shop details.
