Flavorful Origins trailer: Cheese
Yunnan province, a highland situated at a low latitude, was the residence of nomads 800 years ago. They settled there, assimilated with the locals, and left a legacy that now lies at the center of Yunnan cuisine: cheese. The nomads used a unique method involving whey to ferment and ripen milk. Yunnan cheese carries both the inspiration of the nomadic ancestors and the creativity of modern food lovers.
The second season of Flavorful Origins, another masterpiece by Chinese food documentary director Chen Xiaoqing, the creator of A Bite of China, is now online at Tencent.com.
The season, consisting of 10 episodes, will shine a spotlight on Southwest China's Yunnan province, a region blessed with abundant sunlight, fresh produce and exotic spices.
