About

The Chinese word "干酪" (gānlào), meaning "cheese", is formed by combining the character "干", meaning "dry" or "dried", with "酪", which refers to a fermented dairy product like yogurt or curd. Together, they literally denote "dried dairy product", directly reflecting the solid, preserved nature of cheese as understood in Chinese.
