Yak meat basturma (cut 50 g)

Basturma is a traditional dry-cured dish of nomads. The main raw material for making basturma among nomadic peoples was originally horse meat, but now we offer you, in addition to it, also a delicacy made from yak and beef, three types in total. This treat has been known since ancient times; even during the campaigns, Genghis Khan’s warriors consumed a product whose description is similar to basturma. The yak meat delicacy is a snack that reflects Kyrgyz traditions and identity. The dish consists of dried thin slices of meat of a rich dark red color. The cooking process gives the meat a fairly salty taste, which is balanced by the bright spicy notes of cumin and black pepper. The delicacy is smoked and dried in a yurt, after which it acquires the incomparable aroma of a fire, highlighting the umami taste. The dense texture of the meat, coupled with seasonings, leaves a pleasant, rich aftertaste, like a gastronomic journey.
