Yak-Butter

Yak is the Himalayan animal mostly found in cold regions of Nepal. Yak butter also known as “Dri Butter" is butter made from the milk of the domesticated female yak known as Dri (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. Butter only has trace amounts of milk protein, meaning that it won't interfere with your antioxidant absorption. Adding butter to your tea or coffee might actually increase the antioxidant benefits, since it's well known that fats help your body absorb fat-soluble antioxidants.
