A dairy culture festival featuring Mongolian-style products kicked off in Zhenglan Banner of Xiliin Gol League in North China’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region on Aug 26.

Event organizers said that the event will last for two days, until Aug 27.

Compared with previous events, this year’s festival has the largest scale, scope and participation and featured a wide array of rich content.

A total of 143 exhibiting teams brought 15 varieties of traditional cheese and more than 20 innovative milk products, giving visitors the opportunity to taste authentic grassland dairy products.

Meanwhile, enterprises, workshops, farmers and herdsmen involved in Inner Mongolia’s dairy industry have gathered at the event to demonstrate their skills and promote grassland culture.

Five awards including the "Xiliin Gol League Cheese" Innovation Award, Production Award, Marketing Award, Packaging Award and Organization Award will be selected on site.

Organizers introduced that dairy food occupies an extremely important position in the grassland culture of Inner Mongolia. It is an indispensable traditional food in the lives of herders. 

Mongolian-style dairy food is generally made from natural pure milk from horses, cattle, sheep and camels, with a mellow taste and rich nutrition.

The Xiliin Gol League event is a move responding to a call from the central government and the government of Inner Mongolia to revitalize the development of the dairy industry.
