Prljo

(Prljo Sir, Torotan, Tucanik, Čukani Sir, Prljo Cheese)

Prljo is a unique Montenegrin cheese with a hard texture, salty flavor, and low-fat content. It is traditionally produced from boiled milk after the whey has been removed. The cheese is then drained, broken into pieces by hand, and salted.


When prepared in the most traditional way, it is placed in sheepskin from two to four months until it is fully matured. Prljo can be consumed on its own or paired with cold cuts and bread.
