Collection: Cheeses

Težački cheese is a unique hard cheese made from 100% cow's milk that we buy from our partners in the Rakovica area, where the cows graze on the fields near the Plitvice Lakes. The animals are kept on pasture, and the untouched nature of this area directly affects the quality and aroma of the cheese. Inspired by the simplicity and tradition of a "težački" (farmer's) life, this cheese is the result of a desire to keep a primal, natural cheese production. Though a newer member of the Gligora cheese family, it very quickly gained popularity and became one of the best-selling. The production of Težački cheese is based on a simple but reliable technology that Ivan Gligora perfected through the Kolan cheese, while Šime Gligora wanted to bring the process even closer to more authentic, natural methods. On the label of this cheese is a portrait of Šime's maternal grandfather, Jure Šmit, the first "težak" (farm worker) Šime ever met. Težački cheese is distinguished by a rich aroma and a firm texture. It matures for between 2 and 6 months, and with its balanced flavour and the simplicity of its daily production it has won numerous top awards at both domestic and international markets. The Superior expression of Gligora's Težački — an elevated tier of the dairy's most rustic, herbaceous cow cheese. Built around carefully selected wheels and given extra care in maturation.
