Mixed cow and sheep cheese in a 650g cardboard package, also perfect as a gift!

Žigljen cheese is a hard cheese that combines the best of cow and sheep milk, produced in Dalmatia, Lika, and Kordun. Inspired by the traditional cheese-making of the island of Pag, this cheese is a true Gligora classic that was created in 1996. It began as a blend of Pag sheep's milk and cow's milk from the hinterland of Zadar, as there was not enough Pag milk for the production of Pag cheese in its first year. This innovative approach quickly won over the market, and Žigljen became a favorite cheese, recognized for its unique flavor combination.

Žigljen has a pronounced aroma and scent, with a compact texture. It matures for 3 to 6 months, and its distinctive texture and rich taste make it versatile in the kitchen, perfect for enjoying in a variety of dishes. It has won several international awards, confirming its premium quality. Žigljen is ideally stored at a temperature of 10-12°C.

Note: Cheeses ordered through the webshop are shipped by courier in cardboard packaging, with thermal packaging used during the summer months. All cheeses are vacuum-sealed (whole wheel, half, or quarter).
