Our Cow’s Milk Cheese with Rosemary is the delicious result of a journey inspired by time-honored Mediterranean traditions. It all began in 2008 when our friends from Spain visited us, leading to a collaborative exploration of traditional Southern European cheese preservation methods. The Power of Rosemary: Rosemary, an evergreen herb celebrated for its distinctive needle-like leaves and sharp, savory-spicy flavor profile, infuses this hard cheese with an unmistakable aroma and an incredible depth of character. Artisanal Craftsmanship: Pure Inside, Aromatic Outside: The cheese remains completely "clean" and smooth on the inside. The Technique: During the aging process, our cheesemakers apply a specialized coating technique to envelop the exterior in fresh rosemary, allowing the herbal essences to gently mature into the cheese. Gourmet Pairing & Experience: Crafted from high-quality cow's milk, this cheese is tailor-made for lovers of intense, robust, and savory aromas. Its wonderful firm texture makes it an exceptional choice for gourmets looking to experience a unique harmony of traditional taste and innovative aging methods. It pairs magnificently with cured meats, olives, and a full-bodied red wine.

A long time ago, when cheese would lose moisture by the end of summer and become too hard, the old cheesemakers came up with a solution – they would immerse it in wine must or pomace. The cheese would then absorb the moisture and rich wine aroma, turning into a true gourmet treat. At the Gligora Creamery we revived this old tradition of refinement in a modern way, keeping the authenticity of the process. Our cheesemakers adjust the methods every year, following the natural variations of the wine pomace, which ensures a unique taste, aroma and texture for every cheese. The process is entirely natural, without rushing, letting the cheese develop at its own pace. Žigljen cheese combines the best of cow's and sheep's milk from Dalmatia, Lika and Kordun. This Gligora classic offers a unique flavour combination with a pronounced aroma and a compact texture, further enriched by wine aromas.
