(Cheese in a Sack, Sir iz mišine, Sir iz mješine, Sack Cheese)
Sir iz mijeha is a Herzegovinian cheese that's encased in a large sheepskin sack. It's made from raw sheep's or cow's milk, or a combination of both. The sheep's milk comes from the Pramenka breed, while the cow's milk comes from Busa and Gatacko breeds.
The size of the sheepskin sack dictates the size of this cheese, which can weigh from 30 to 70 kilograms. Sir iz mijeha is aged from 2 months to a year, and during the process it becomes white or pale yellow in color. The cheese has strong aromas of sheepskin and it's traditionally served as an appetizer with boiled potatoes, ham, and uštipci (fried dough).
