Collection: Cow's Milk Cheese

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. A premium choice for serious cheese tables.

Young Trappist Gligora is a semi-hard cheese made from 100% full-fat cow's milk, created as Gligora's take on the classic semi-hard cheese. This cheese is distinguished by its rich milk fat, which carries aroma, scent and fat-soluble vitamins, making it exceptionally tasty and nutritious. Young Trappist has quickly become one of Gligora's classics and a synonym for a quality semi-hard cheese that is always affordable. It is an ideal solution for everyday meals, perfect in sandwiches, toasts and salads. With its texture and flavour, Young Trappist can enrich any meal. This cheese is available in different shapes, and it is vacuum-packed for a longer shelf life of up to 120 days, under optimal storage conditions at between 4 and 12 °C. Young Trappist is an excellent choice for cheese lovers who look for a high-quality product at an accessible price.

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.
