Rare cheese made from donkey milk

用驢奶制作的稀有奶酪

文字稿

Pule cheese is from Serbia. You might be surprised to hear that it’s made from donkey milk. You might be even more surprised to hear that it sells for more than €1,200 a kilo.

普勒奶酪產自塞爾維亞。讓你聽到後可能會感到驚奇的是這種奶酪用驢奶制作的。可能會令你更加吃驚的是這種奶酪的每公斤售價超過瞭 1200 歐元。

The price is partly down to the fact that donkeys only produce a limited amount of milk every day.

普勒奶酪售價高昂的部分原因是驢每天生產的奶量非常有限。

During her lactation period, a female donkey can only produce 300ml of milk per day and half of this is consumed by her foal.

在哺乳期，一頭母驢每天隻能產 300 毫升的奶，而且其中一半要用於喂養她的小驢仔。

When you consider that just one kilo of cheese requires 20 to 30 litres of milk, you can start to see how the relative scarcity of milk makes the cheese very expensive.

當考慮到僅僅制作一公斤奶酪就需要 20 到 30 升驢奶這一點時，你就會開始明白驢奶的相對稀缺是如何讓普勒奶酪變得價值不菲的。

The cheese is produced only on the Zasavica nature reserve in Serbia.

這種奶酪隻在塞爾維亞的紮撒維卡自然保護區內制作。

The reserve started trying to produce the cheese over a decade ago, but found the process to be difficult as it is hard to get donkey milk to the correct consistency.

該自然保護區十多年前開始嘗試制作驢奶奶酪，但發現制作過程十分困難，因為難以讓驢奶達到合適的稠度。

The complicated process, and slow rate of milk production means that the reserve can only produce 25 to 30 kilos a year, making it a rare delicacy.

復雜的制作過程和驢緩慢的產奶速度意味著這個自然保護區每年隻能生產 25 到 30 公斤普勒奶酪，這讓它成為瞭一種罕見的美味佳肴。
