Motal cheese is a goat cheese flavored with herbs that is made throughout the Caucuses.
It dates back about 5,000 years but is in danger of disappearing.
Ruslan Torosyan is working to keep motal cheese alive in the town of Chambarak, Armenia.
Selling motal cheese in Armenia and internationally comes with obstacles because of international regulations, and the high price of the cheese for the local population.
Ruslan and his family spread the word by organizing master classes for tourists.
