Cheese / Cheese Tasting

Pronunciation frustration: Žigljen

I'm not going to lie: I have no idea how to read the name of this cheese. Regardless, it’s pretty tasty. It's a hard, pressed mixed-milk (goat, sheep and cow) cheese that is aged for a minimum of 4 months in the limestone cheese caves on the Island of Pag in Croatia.

The taste is mild and it melts in your mouth. The taste and texture remind me a lot of Greek Kasseri cheese. This would be great over a sandwich or shredded over a salad.
