Gomul

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Gomul is a traditional Korean food product, which is a type of processed dairy product. It is made from the milk of domestic animals such as cows, goats, and sheep. The process of making Gomul involves fermenting the milk, which results in a product with a unique taste and texture.

History[edit | edit source]

The history of Gomul dates back to the Three Kingdoms period (57 BC – 668 AD). It was a common food product in rural areas, where domestic animals were abundant. The production of Gomul was a way to preserve the milk and make it last longer. Over time, the process of making Gomul has been refined and it has become a popular food product in Korea.

Production[edit | edit source]

The production of Gomul involves several steps. First, the milk is collected from the animals and then it is boiled. After boiling, the milk is cooled and then fermented. The fermentation process is what gives Gomul its unique taste and texture. After fermentation, the Gomul is ready to be consumed.
