World Championship Cheese Contest - Best of Class

2014

Hard sheep cheese with pressed olives made by Sirana Gligora is a unique dairy product combining the rich flavors of aged sheep cheese with the aromatic profile of pressed olives. This cheese, originating from Croatia, emphasizes a harmonious blend of the creamy, slightly tangy taste of sheep's milk with the distinctive, somewhat fruity and bitter notes of olives.


The texture is firm and can be crumbly, characteristic of many aged sheep cheeses. Sirana Gligora, known for its artisanal cheese production methods and use of high-quality, local ingredients, crafts this cheese to offer both a gustatory experience and a reflection of Croatian culinary traditions.
