The taste is mild and rather sweet. Sweeter than any cheese I've encountered in the west. In fact, in Tibet it is eaten like we might eat candies / sweets. Yet it remains recognisably cheese. Yes, there are a number of yak cheeses, one of which, tastes like Limburger.
Yak milk is a staple in Tibet and is used for cheese, yoghurt and butter, which is used in yak butter tea.
Yak meat is also important in the cuisine.
