Wikipedia
Yak butter

Yak butter is butter made from the milk of the domesticated yak (Bos grunniens). It is a staple food item and trade item for herding communities in south Central Asia and the Tibetan Plateau. Many different political entities have communities of herders who produce and consume yak's dairy products including cheese and butter – for example, China, India, Mongolia, Nepal, and Tibet.

Whole yak's milk has about twice the fat content of whole cow's milk, producing a butter with a texture closer to cheese.
