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.

Hemp cheese represents an extraordinary combination of traditional cheesemaking artistry and innovative ingredients. This unique cheese is the result of careful processing of high-quality milk enriched with hemp, which is known for its health values. Hemp cheese offers not only an unusual, pleasant taste but also numerous health benefits. Each cheese is carefully crafted to satisfy even the most demanding platters, whether used as part of a meal, an addition to various dishes, or as a healthy snack. Our hemp cheese is ideal for gourmets who want to experiment with new flavours, as well as for those who look for healthy options in their diet. Discover how this innovative cheese can enrich your dish and contribute to your health while enjoying its unique texture and taste.

Žigljen cheese from maraska pomace is a premium specialty that brings tradition and innovation together. Inspired by old methods, our cheesemakers immerse the cheese in maraska pomace, known for its rich aroma, which gives the cheese a special natural moisture and the unique notes of the autochthonous Zadar maraska cherry. This refinement process allows the cheese to develop an intense aroma and a compact texture. Žigljen, a blend of cow's and sheep's milk from Dalmatia, Lika and Kordun, matures for 4-12 months and becomes even richer after refinement in maraska pomace. The result is a gourmet treat with a pronounced aroma and a special texture. This unique cheese is excellent for all lovers of cheeses with character, and it's at its best when stored at 4-16 °C.

Discover the richness of flavour of the island of Pag and Dalmatia in one exclusive package. This set brings the three best-known Gligora cheeses, each in practical pre-cut form (one-eighth of a wheel), offering you a complete gastronomic journey through the best of Croatian cheesemaking. What's in the set? Pag Cheese (PDO) – The king of Croatian cheeses: Made from 100% sheep's milk from the island of Pag, this cheese with the protected designation of origin (PDO) matures for 6 to 12 months. It is characterised by an intense aroma, a grainy texture and a rich flavour of pastures rich in sea spray and medicinal herbs. Kolan Cheese – Tradition and quality: A hard cheese made from 100% cow's milk, aged for a minimum of 4 months. Inspired by the Trappists, Kolan has become synonymous with premium cow's milk cheese in Croatia, recognisable for its pleasant aromas and firm structure. Kozlar Cheese – Freshness of Dalmatia: A semi-hard cheese made from 100% goat's milk from northern Dalmatia. The younger cheese (1-2 months) has mild and pleasant aromas and is ideal for those looking for a lighter yet characterful goat cheese. Serving suggestion: Build a premium "Gligora platter" – cut the cheeses into triangles and serve with Dalmatian prosciutto, olives, dried figs and walnuts. Each cheese has its own wine: Kozlar loves a fresh Malvazija, Kolan pairs with lighter reds, while Pag cheese calls for a full-bodied Plavac Mali or Teran.

Discover the variety of Croatian pastures through three legendary cheeses from the Gligora Creamery. This set brings a perfect balance between a classic cow's milk cheese and award-winning mixed-milk cheeses that have claimed the most prestigious international prizes. What's in the set?

Žigljen perfectly balances the mildness of cow's milk and the distinctive sharpness of Pag sheep's milk, delivering a rich and full flavour. Dinarski cheese: A unique blend of goat's milk from southern Dalmatia and cow's milk from inland Croatia. Dinarski cheese is a multi-award-winning delicacy with a distinctive, mildly piquant aroma that comes from quality goat's milk. Serving suggestion: Serve the cheeses with homemade prosciutto, capers and nuts. Because of the richness of the mixed-milk cheeses (Žigljen and Dinarski), this platter pairs excellently with fuller white wines or medium-bodied reds such as Merlot.
