Smjeli Dalmatian Prosciutto, sliced, is a cured meat product protected by a geographical-origin mark, distinguished by top-tier quality and the tradition of Dalmatian production. This long-life product is prepared from category-1 pork, and only sea salt – at a level of 4% – is used in its preparation. The sliced prosciutto fits perfectly into Mediterranean cuisine and is ideal for serving with cheese, olives and wine. It is recommended to keep it at 4-8 °C to preserve its freshness and quality.

The most concentrated expression of the legendary Paški sir — Croatia's only PDO sheep's milk cheese, now aged for a minimum of 12 months to develop its most intense, complex character. Crafted on the wind-scoured island of Pag, where the fierce bura wind and sparse, salt-dusted pastures give the native Pag sheep's milk an unrivalled depth of flavour. After ageing, the paste becomes firm and granular, the colour deepens to a rich amber-ivory, and the aroma fills the room with notes of roasted nuts, dry hay, and aged butter. On the palate, long-crystallised tyrosine crystals deliver a satisfying crunch, while the finish lingers with a gentle, savoury sweetness that only time can produce. At 225 g, this is the ideal size for a premium cheese board, an elevated aperitivo moment, or a considered gift for someone who truly appreciates fine cheese. Pair with a bold Croatian red — Dingač or Plavac Mali — aged honey, or a handful of walnuts.

Dried Mediterranean figs dipped in smooth dark chocolate — a sublime small-batch treat that highlights the sun-concentrated sweetness of the fig against the deep cocoa of fine chocolate. Beautiful with espresso, dessert wine, or as a thoughtful gift for chocolate-lovers.200 g · Croatia

Paški sir — Croatia's most awarded and most famous cheese, made exclusively from the milk of indigenous Pag sheep grazing on the island's wind-swept, herb-dusted karst pastures.

Firm, deep-golden paste with a fine crystalline structure that develops with age; long-savoury, nutty and unmistakably aromatic on the palate. Sirana Gligora holds more international awards for Paški sir than any other producer.Perfect on a serious cheese board with Croatian honey and dry-cured pršut, shaved over pasta, or paired with a Plavac Mali or a full-bodied Croatian white.

Kolan cheese is a true Gligora classic and the oldest cheese of the Gligora Creamery, created in 1996. This outstanding hard cheese is made from 100% cow's milk. Although inspired by the traditional Trappist, Kolan cheese has evolved into a unique category, keeping its name and recognisable visual identity – the label featuring the little church of St. Jerome from the Kolanje field. The Superior expression of Gligora's Kolan — an elevated tier of one of the dairy's most cherished cow cheeses, named after the small Pag island village. Built around carefully selected wheels and given extra care in maturation, Kolan Superior reveals a beautifully complex savoury character with classic minerality and a long, polished finish.

Experience the profound flavors of the Dalmatian coast with our traditional black olives, harvested from the ancient groves surrounding the historic city of Šibenik. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, these olives are allowed to fully ripen under the Mediterranean sun, resulting in a tender, meaty texture and a complex, earthy flavor profile. Prepared using time-honored local methods, they offer a rich and savory experience with a hint of natural saltiness. These black olives are an indispensable addition to a premium appetizer platter, pairing exquisitely with extra virgin olive oil, salted anchovies, and aged sheep’s milk cheese. A true taste of the rugged and beautiful Šibenik landscape.

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.
