What is Vlašićki sir?

Known as t ravnički and v la&scaron;ićki , this traditional Bosnian cheese is prepared with raw ewe’s milk and natural calf rennet. When strained, the cheese is cut into blocks that are salted and placed into wooden barrels, where they are left to ripen in brine. The cheese is seasonally produced in the Vla&scaron;ić Mountain from the autochthonous breed Pramenka. It is characterized by its white color, firm but soft texture, and small holes that appear in the cross-section. Because of its lightly salty flavor, it is a common accompaniment to various main courses, but it is best paired with bread, smoked meat, and traditional plum brandy.
