Chura loenpa is a soft Tibetan cheese curd eaten in China. It is the moist form of chura, closer to fresh curds than to a wheel with a rind. The curds are mild, loose, and a little tangy, and they are meant to be eaten soon. A harder dried cheese from the same curd tradition is a different food. Chura loenpa stays soft, and that softness is the point of the name.
