Šarski sir

(Djathë, Шарски сир, Djath Sharri, Sharri Cheese, Šar Cheese)

Djath Sharri or Šarski sir is a salty cheese from Kosovo made with sheep's and cow's milk. Originally, it was made only with sheep's milk since cows were not able to climb the highland. In color, it ranges from white to yellow, and has a typical aroma of dill, a herb that is quite common in the highlands. Šarski sir is produced in two varieties – hard (traditional) and soft.


The cheese is typically sold in wooden or plastic buckets, and it is then consumed on its own, paired with bread, or added to pies and salads.
