Kl?llen?ot?n
A traditional cheese made from the milk of tamed Kl?llens (a large bear sized, weasel-like animal weighing approximately 360 kg / 790 lb). Pungent, soft and very strong-smelling, it is sometimes flavored with herbs. Kl?llen?ot?n has a pale yellow interior with a glossy reddish-brown coating created by the bacteria that grow during its 3-month aging. It is usually shaped into a brick when sold. The taste and flavor of the cheese depends on the period of ripening. When young, the interior is sweet, with age the flavor becomes spicy. Because it's so strong, Kl?llen?ot?n is best eaten with dark breads and beers.

History
Kl?llen?ot?n has existed in one form or another since Kl?llens were first tamed over 500 years ago. Due to the savage and unpredictable nature of even "tame" Kl?llens, the making of this cheese has always been a hazardous undertaking. The practice of attempting to "tame" Kl?llens was at one point outlawed due to extreme loss of life and damage to property. During this time the cheese was only produced in small quantities by brave souls on isolated farms and ranches. More recently the taming of Kl?llens has once again been allowed, but only under the strict supervision and regulation of The People's Select Committee for Agriculture, Firearms, Small Kitchen Appliances, and Recreational Footwear.

Exports
Almost all of the importing/exporting for the Pleiades Region is handled by international trading conglomerates in the nations of Generic Nation Product, Libertarian Chaos and WhaleCo Global LLC. This includes cheeses. Only the very finest cheeses are exported directly from Yelda and they carry the "Fine Yeldan Cheeses?" label. Regular cheeses (which are really quite good, actually, but more of a "supermarket" quality) are shipped by one of the trading conglomerates and are simply labeled "Yeldan Cheese. Product of The Yeldan People's Democratic Republic". The samples of Kl?llen?ot?n cheese you see before you are of the long-aged spicy variety and proudly wear the label, Fine Yeldan Cheeses?.

In addition to this, our official entry, we invite you to sample all of our Fine Yeldan Cheeses? which will be available throughout the duration of the festival.
