Premium fermented yak cheese chili paste represents the definitive Bhutanese condiment combining two cultural pillars, namely yak dairy and chili heat. “Zoedthey” (alternative spelling of Zoethey/Zoedoe) refers to aged fermented yak cheese, while “Eazay” denotes the chili paste preparation. This artisanal product blends pungent, funky fermented yak cheese with fire-roasted organic chilies, garlic, and traditional spices.
Flavor experience: intense umami depth, complex fermentation funk, bold chili heat, and lingering savory richness. Traditionally consumed with red rice, Suja (butter tea), and dried meat; also elevates noodles, vegetables, and grilled proteins. A true taste of Bhutan’s pastoral highland culture.
