THE EMERGENCE OF LIVANJSKI CHEESE

The place of origin of Livanjski cheese is area of southwestern Bosnia, the wide area of the Livanjsko field, from where its production spread to the area of Glamoč and Tomislavgrad.

Production of Livanjski cheese began during the time of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, more precisely in 1886, when representatives of the monarchy saw that there were ideal conditions for cheese production in this area, and with establishment of the Zemaljska agricultural station, which also included first cheese factory, they began an organized approach to animal husbandry. and cheese production. Representatives of authorities organized arrival of several master cheesemakers, among whom Frenchman Cyprian Jaillet stood out, who stayed longest and spent a quarter of a century in Livno, and during his stay he significantly improved production of Livanjski cheese and became a prominent citizen of Livno.

Recipe for production of Livanjski cheese quickly spread from cheese factory to surrounding villages, so people started making cheese in their own households.

Centuries-old recipe and top quality mountain milk

LIVANJSKI CHEESE OF THE PUĐA FAMILY

Livanjski cheese from Eko sir Puđa dairy is the king of every table, and as befits His Majesty, we produce it only from the best natural raw materials, without added aromas, colors and flavor enhancers

Puđa family is part of the long history of production of this widely known product. At that time, cheese was made according to the recipe for production of Swiss cheese Gruyere, or Greyerzer, so in the begining it was popularly called "Swiss cheese", and it was made exclusively from sheep's milk. The quality of Livanjski cheese has made it popular in near and far neighbourhoods, and it has gained special popularity in neighboring Dalmatia. Time passed, monarchies and countries changed, and it's great popularity led to a change in the cheese recipe, primarily in the composition of the raw material from which it is produced. Lack of sheep's milk, which due to seasonal character of production of sheep's milk on the one hand and decrease in the number of sheep on the other, led to the fact that Livanjski cheese firstly began to be produced from a mixture of sheep's and cow's milk in different proportions, and nowadays it is mainly or only produced from cow's milk. Regardless of these modifications, characteristics and quality of this autochthonous cheese have remained recognizable, not only in Bosnia and Herzegovina but also beyond it's borders.

It is hard, full-fat cheese that ripens under the natural rind in underground rooms, in the form of regular, yellow wheels weighting 2.5 or 1 kg each. Ripening lasts several months, on a natural, wooden shelves. To produce top-quality Livanjski cheese, a lot of patience and effort is needed to be invested.
