Krk cheese (Krčki sir)

Krčki sir is a Croatian cheese originating from the island of Krk. This hard, full-fat cheese is made from raw sheep's milk. It has a smooth yellowish rind with a subtle herbal aroma. The texture is dense and smooth, while the flavors are rich and full, a result of the sheep's diet of aromatic herbs that grow on the island.

The cheese is traditionally produced by small family farms (OPG) all across the island. Depending on the level of maturity of Krčki sir, it can be sliced and consumed as a table cheese or grated over pasta dishes.
