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.

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.

Indulge in a true masterpiece of Croatian charcuterie. The Đakovo Bacon is a premium cured delicacy crafted exclusively from 100% Black Slavonian Pig—a prestigious indigenous breed celebrated for its exceptional fat quality and deep flavor. Sourced from the finest pork belly and prepared without bone, this bacon undergoes a meticulous 90-day slow-aging process. This extended maturation, combined with traditional light smoking over domestic beechwood, results in a buttery, melt-in-the-mouth texture and a sophisticated savory profile. The striking contrast between the intense ruby-red meat and the pristine white fat is a hallmark of its quality. Whether served thinly sliced on a Gligora tasting board or used to add depth to gourmet dishes, this bacon offers an authentic, rich taste of Slavonian heritage.
