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.

The most concentrated expression of the legendary Paški sir — Croatia's only PDO sheep's milk cheese, now aged for a minimum of 12 months to develop its most intense, complex character. Crafted on the wind-scoured island of Pag, where the fierce bura wind and sparse, salt-dusted pastures give the native Pag sheep's milk an unrivalled depth of flavour. After ageing, the paste becomes firm and granular, the colour deepens to a rich amber-ivory, and the aroma fills the room with notes of roasted nuts, dry hay, and aged butter. On the palate, long-crystallised tyrosine crystals deliver a satisfying crunch, while the finish lingers with a gentle, savoury sweetness that only time can produce. At 225 g, this is the ideal size for a premium cheese board, an elevated aperitivo moment, or a considered gift for someone who truly appreciates fine cheese. Pair with a bold Croatian red — Dingač or Plavac Mali — aged honey, or a handful of walnuts.

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.

Experience the refined purity of Sir Kozlar, an exquisite hard cheese crafted exclusively from the finest goat’s milk. Known for its characteristic snow-white paste and elegant texture, Kozlar is a testament to the Gligora dairy’s mastery in balancing traditional techniques with sophisticated flavor profiles. Unlike younger goat cheeses, Kozlar is aged to develop a firm, smooth consistency and a subtle, nuanced tang that is both refreshing and deeply savory. 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.

Kolan cheese is a true Gligora classic and the oldest cheese of the Gligora Creamery, created in 1996. This outstanding hard cheese is made from 100% cow's milk from the Zadar hinterland. Although inspired by the traditional Trappist, Kolan cheese has evolved into a unique category, keeping its name and recognisable visual identity – the label featuring the little church of St. Jerome from the Kolanje field. Kolan cheese is distinguished by pleasant aromas and a firm, structured paste. The cheese is 6 months old, and its mildness, together with moderate aromas and flavours, makes it extraordinarily popular among cheese lovers. Today Kolan is one of the best-selling hard cheeses in Croatia. 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.
