Have you ever wondered how the bura wind, sea salt, and barren Pag 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 for a special guided tour of Gligora’s sirana! Explore the cheese-making process from fresh milk to our award-winning varieties and learn about the traditional methods and sustainable practices that make our cheeses unique. The tour includes tasting sessions of our finest cheeses, offering a full sensory experience. Perfect for families, food enthusiasts, and anyone curious about artisan cheese.
The Tour Route: Three Steps to Ultimate Savoring
Our guided tour is more than just a lecture—it is a dynamic walk through three key stations where you will experience the true spirit of Pag Island.
1. The Aging Cellar (Zrionica): Where Cheese Gains Its Soul
The adventure begins by descending into our aging cellar, hidden in the facility's underground. Here, in peace and under strictly controlled conditions, thousands of cheese wheels rest on shelves. You will encounter the distinct aroma of maturation and learn how our master cheesemakers care for each individual wheel until it reaches perfection.
2. 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 over Kolanjsko polje. A guided tasting session of our finest, award-winning cheeses awaits you here. You will learn how to properly taste cheese, recognize fine aromatic notes, and discover the secret behind our signature crunchy calcium crystals.
3. Gligora Shop: Take a Piece of Pag Home With You
We conclude the tour in our specialized flagship store on the ground floor. Here, you can browse the entire Gligora selection at your own pace—from exclusive, limited-edition cheeses and domestic jams to premium olive oils, selected wines, and craft liqueurs. It is the perfect opportunity to stock up your home pantry or find the ultimate gourmet gift.
