When you visit the island of Pag, the sound of the bura wind catches your ear, you feel the sharp karst under your feet, and your mind is, naturally, on the taste of world-class cheese. But did you know that in the heart of Kolan, right above the place where our most famous, award-winning cheeses are crafted, lies a true little oasis for hedonists?
Located on the upper floor of the Gligora Dairy, our Cheese & Coffee bar is a unique spot designed for slow savoring, recharging your batteries, and celebrating authentic local flavors.
A View That Soothes the Soul: Kolanjsko Polje in the Palm of Your Hand
The moment you walk up the stairs to the upper floor of our dairy, you will step into a space where modern elegance seamlessly meets tradition. However, what will catch your eye first is the spectacular view through the large glass walls.
Our tasting room offers a beautiful, calming panorama over Kolanjsko polje (Kolan Field)—the green heart of the island that provides an incredible contrast to the grayness of the surrounding stone—as well as the mystical northern part of Pag Island. Watching the sun illuminate the very pastures from which the milk for the cheese you are tasting comes is an unforgettable experience.
Tip for the perfect moment: Grab a table by the window, order your favorite coffee or a glass of local wine, and simply let time slow down.
From Morning Coffee to a Premium Gourmet Platter
Why Cheese & Coffee? Because we believe that every part of the day deserves its own special ritual.
- Morning Awakening: Start your day with a premium, aromatic coffee as the island just begins to wake up, accompanied by a fresh breeze and a view of the green fields.
- A Gastronomic Journey on a Platter: As the day moves towards noon, indulge in a rich selection of our cheeses. From young, delicate skuta (curd), through aged Žigljen, all the way to our ultimate champion—Paški sir.
- Local Delicacies: Cheese never comes alone. Our platters are enriched with handpicked local delicacies—premium prosciutto, olives, domestic honey, and drops of olive oil that perfectly tie the whole story together.
Whether you dropped by for a quick espresso before exploring the island's beaches or plan to spend a relaxed afternoon discovering the complex textures and aromas of our mature cheeses over a glass of fine wine, you will feel right at home here.
