Chhurpi (Tibetan: ཆུར་བ།, THL: churwa), otherwise known as durkha and chogo/chugo, is a traditional cheese consumed in Nepal and Bhutan.[1][2] The two varieties of chhurpi are a soft variety (consumed usually as a side dish with rice)[3] and a very hard variety. Chhurpi is considered one of the hardest cheeses in the world.[4][5]
