Pag cheese bears the international Superior Taste mark The famous Pag cheese produced in the cheese plant Sirena- Mala sirana in Kolan owned by Ivan Gligora, has recently been awarded two golden stars and the right to label this cheese with the Superior Taste mark at the international Superior Taste event in Brussels. This is the greatest award so far for this cheese that has thus been included in the circle of seventy top food products in the world.

Ivan Gligora’s Pag cheese bears the marks of Original Croatian, Protected Geographic Origin and Croatian Island Product, and HACCP system principles are applied in its production. Pag cheese is made from sheep milk produced by the domestic autochthonous breed of Pag sheep. Mature cheese is 6 to 12 months old and has a distinctive piquant taste and a characteristic smell. It is served alone and may also be grated and added to meat and seafood delicacies.
