Žigljen Aged in Grape Must, 650 g
A unique harmony of exceptional mixed-milk cheese and Dalmatian winemaking tradition in a limited edition series. Our renowned Žigljen, crafted from a carefully balanced blend of cow's and sheep's milk, undergoes a meticulous affinage process in fresh grape must. The natural fruit acids gracefully penetrate the cheese, softening its texture near the rind and imparting a delightful, juicy fruitiness to its naturally robust and slightly piquant character. Every wheel is hand-nurtured to absolute maturity.
Flavor: A rich and balanced blend of cow's and sheep's milk, elevated by juicy, fruity wine notes and a gentle piquancy.
Serving suggestion: Let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving. Cut into wedges with the rind intact, and pair with fresh grapes, toasted almonds, and a glass of robust red wine.

Žigljen Cheese Aged in Grape Must
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.
