Livno cheese

Livno cheese is a delightful variety that originated in the 19th century in Livno, a town in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Drawing inspiration from the French Gruyère cheese-making technique, Livno cheese was initially crafted from sheep's milk. Today, it is often produced using a blend of sheep's and cow's milk.

The cheese is aged for approximately 60 to 66 days in a controlled environment to develop its distinctive flavor profile. Livno cheese is renowned for its rich and robust taste, with more mature cheeses offering a slightly tangy note.

Two prominent producers of Livno cheese are Mljekara Livno and Lura Dairy d.o.o. Livno. Together, they manufacture over 500 metric tons of this exceptional cheese each year.
