Paški Sir, made by Paška Sirana, is a renowned sheep's milk cheese originating from the island of Pag in Croatia. Known for its distinct flavor, Paški Sir is crafted using milk from local sheep that graze on the aromatic Mediterranean herbs and salty grasses native to Pag's rocky landscape.


This unique diet imparts a rich and savory taste to the cheese, characterized by its slightly crumbly texture and a taste that combines sweet, salty, and piquant notes. Aged for several months, Paški Sir develops a hard, golden-yellow rind and a creamy, dense interior, making it a favorite in Croatian cuisine and a sought-after delicacy internationally.
