Milk is soured into tarag (yoghurt), then heated until the curd separates. The curd is drained and pressed in a cloth bag, cut or moulded into small pieces, and dried in the sun and wind until hard. It is eaten as a long-keeping snack.

At a glance
Milk is soured into tarag (yoghurt), then heated until the curd separates. The curd is drained and pressed in a cloth bag, cut or moulded into small pieces, and dried in the sun and wind until hard. It is eaten as a long-keeping snack. Made in 5 steps over 4.2 days – 5.2 days. The longest step, dry in the sun and wind, takes 4–5 days (Jargalsaikhan A 2024) and runs at 44–55 °C (Jargalsaikhan A 2024). Predominant lactic acid bacteria across 66 samples of Mongolian dairy products does most of the fermenting.
Aaruul is dried in the sun and wind. Hard chhurpi is smoked over a fire, and Kazakh qurt is salted and rolled into balls. Byaslag is the same kind of curd pressed but eaten fresh, not dried.
Pot-distilled curd aaruulJargalsaikhan and Dorjsuren name pot-distilled curd as one of three ways to get the curd, beside yoghurt curd and enzyme-acid curd.
Berry or sugar aaruulSea buckthorn, goji berries or sugar are worked into the curd before drying.
Safety
A 2015 thesis says boiling and drying kill the lactic bacteria of the tarag, and that aaruul has a long shelf life. Sun-drying in the open leaves the curd open to dust and insects. In one study, aaruul and other dried Mongolian foods (11 samples) had no detectable aflatoxin.
Wilkin and colleagues (2020) write that historical Chinese documents record dairy foods eaten in the Xiongnu period (about 200 BC to 100 AD), including dried curds from ruminant milk (aaruul).
