Cagaan tos

("White fat"). Towards the end of autumn, clotted cream gathered over the summer is melted and the clarified oil (shar tos) is removed; the remaining solids are then mixed with eezgii and poured into a sheep's stomach, where they coagulate and may be stored over the winter. This butter-like substance is known variously as "white fat", "melted fat" or "mixed fat". Sugar or different herbs such as POLYGONUM ALOPECUROIDES, SPHALLEROCARPUS GRACILIS, or PADUS ASIATICA can be mixed in with the butter to add flavour and increase its nutritional value. In the cooler regions of Mongolia it is less common for clotted cream (O'RO'M) to go off, and therefore this cream is often placed directly in an animal's stomach for storage over the winter, without being melted or mixed with any other substance; in these regions the resulting product is also known as "CAGAAN TOS".
