Pumpkin Seeds Cheese, 190 g

Pag cheese is our most famous and most awarded cheese. Although it represents less than 15% of our total cheese production, it is the flagship of our production and a synonym for the globally recognised quality of Gligora. It is also the first cheese with which Ivan Gligora won the first international recognition for a Croatian cheese, and it remains the most awarded Croatian cheese. Pag cheese is a limited product, obtained exclusively from sheep's milk from the island of Pag. Its limited nature is tied to the total number of Pag sheep that can freely graze on the pasturelands of the island of Pag. In addition to its own smaller flock, the Gligora Creamery buys Pag sheep's milk from around a hundred families on the island of Pag in most of the island's settlements, and does so daily during the milking season – which runs from January to the end of June. Pag cheese is produced by a traditional process. The first croatian cheese with a protected designation of origin (PDO).   Type of cheese: Hard cheeseTaste: mild and nuttyShelf life: 180 days, vacuum-packed, 4 to 8 °C Status: Designation of origin – PDO Best storage conditions: 8 - 16 °C; 75 - 80% humidityAge: 3-6 months Awards Year Competition Award / Recognition 2025 World Cheese Awards Bronze 2025 Great Taste Awards (UK) 2 Stars 2024 Great Taste Awards (UK) 2 Stars 2023 World Cheese Awards Bronze 2023 Great Taste Awards (UK) 2 Stars (PDO) 2022 World Cheese Awards Gold 2022 Great Taste Awards (UK) 2 Stars (PDO) 2021 Great Taste Awards (UK) 1 Star 2021 World Cheese Awards Silver 2021 World Cheese Awards Bronze 2020 Great Taste Awards (UK) 2 Stars 2019 World Cheese Awards Gold 2019 Great Taste Awards (UK) 3 Stars 2019 International Taste Awards Silver Medal 2018 World Cheese Awards Super Gold 2018 World Cheese Awards Gold 2018 Great Taste Awards (UK) 2 Stars 2018 International Cheese Awards Silver Medal 2017 World Cheese Awards Silver 2016 World Cheese Awards Bronze 2014 iTQi Brussels (Belgium) Crystal Award 2013 Great Taste Awards (UK) 1 Star 2013 Global Cheese Awards (UK) Gold & Best in Class 2013 International Cheese Awards Gold & Best in Class 2012 Great Taste Awards (UK) 2 Stars 2012 Global Cheese Awards (UK) Gold & Best Overseas Cheese 2012 Kasiade (Austria) Gold Medal & 1st Place 2010 World Cheese Awards Super-Gold & Triple Category Best 2010 World Cheese Awards Best New Cheese Trophy 2002 Franciacorta in Bianco 1st Place (Sheep's Milk Category)

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.

Adriatic cheese is the "younger brother" of our Žigljen, but with a slightly milder flavour. This premium cheese combines cow's and sheep's milk, creating a perfect balance between rich texture and a gentle taste. Bright yellow in colour, creamy, and it melts easily in the mouth, which makes it ideal for lovers of mixed-milk cheeses.

Adriatic cheese has a slightly higher proportion of cow's milk than sheep's milk.

Žigljen cheese is a hard cheese that brings together the best of cow's and sheep's milk, produced in Dalmatia, Lika and Kordun. Inspired by the tradition of cheesemaking on the island of Pag, this cheese is a true Gligora classic that was created in 1996. It started as a blend of Pag sheep's milk and cow's milk from the Zadar hinterland, because in the first year there was not enough Pag milk to produce Pag cheese. This innovative approach quickly conquered the market, and Žigljen became a favourite cheese, recognised for its unique flavour combination. Žigljen has a pronounced aroma and scent, with a compact paste. It matures for a minimum of 6 months, and its recognisable texture and rich flavour make it versatile in the kitchen, perfect for enjoying in different dishes. It has won several international awards, which confirms its top-tier quality. Žigljen is ideally stored at 10-12 °C.

Its delicate herbal undertones make it an ideal choice for those who appreciate the lighter, yet complex side of artisanal cheeses. Serve it thinly sliced with floral honeys, fresh walnuts, or a crisp white wine such as Pošip for a truly elevated gastronomic experience.

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.
