Have you ever wondered how the Pag bora wind, sea salt, and bare stone are transformed into the best sheep's milk cheese in the world? The secret lies not just in the recipe, but in the passion, tradition, and precise process that you can experience firsthand.
Join us on a special guided tour of the Gligora Cheese Factory! Explore the cheese-making process from fresh milk to our award-winning varieties, and learn more about the traditional methods and sustainable practices that make our cheeses unique. Perfect for families, foodies, and anyone who wants to learn more about authentic cheese-making.
Tour Route: Three Steps to Ultimate Delight
Our guided tour is more than just a lecture—it is a dynamic walk through three key stops where you will experience the true spirit of the island of Pag.
1. Production Facility: An explanation of the production process.
2. The Aging Room (Ripening Cellar): Where cheese gets its soul
The adventure begins with a descent into our aging room, hidden in the basement of the cheese factory. Here, in peace and under strictly controlled conditions, thousands of cheese wheels rest on shelves. You will encounter the distinctive aroma of aging and learn how our master cheesemakers care for each individual wheel until it reaches perfection.
3. The Cheese Bar: A sensory explosion on the palate
After the theory, it's time for pure hedonism. We move upstairs to our modern Cheese Bar, which boasts a beautiful view of Kolanjsko Polje (Kolan Field). This is where we conclude our tour, and if you wish, you can order one of our Gligora cheese platters.
Note: Food and drink consumption in the Cheese Bar is not included in the tour price.
Gligora Shop: Take a Piece of Pag Home with You
A visit to the cheese factory would not be complete without visiting our largest Cheese & Deli shop in Croatia, located just 20 meters from the factory. There, you can browse the entire Gligora assortment at your own pace—from exclusive, limited-edition cheeses and homemade jams to premium olive oils, selected wines, and craft liqueurs. It is the perfect opportunity to stock up your pantry or find a premium gourmet gift.
