Cheese factory Gligora in Kolan

Anyone wishing to combine culinary delights and sightseeing with no complications, belongs right in Kolan in the heart of the Pag Island. Here, where the Pag sheep shield themselves from the violent winds behind drywalls, eat aromatic herbs refined with sea salt and get milked by hand, is where the heart of the Pag cheese production beats. The Gligora (Sirana Gligora) cheese dairy is by far the largest and best known manufacturers of the excellent Pag cheese, which is to say without question the best in the world. Situated on a hill between Pag and Novalja on road 106, this diary offers unique insights into the traditional production of this culinary treasure. 

Those who are expecting to see a tiny cheese cellar and a small guest parlor have another thing coming - tradition and modernity go hand in hand at Gligora: in the production as well as in the presentation of its tasty cheese with a golden crust. Interested guests can take a tour and visit the production area and see how different varieties are stored. Visitors will enjoy these heavenly delights during the subsequent tasting in the specially equipped "Cheese tasting room" where various cheeses very typical of the island are served with wind-dried ham, olives, homemade bread and local wine. 

A tour costs 60 kunas per person and includes a warm smile, traditional indulgence and exciting insights. How could you resist it? Guided tours take place from Monday to Saturday 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM (reservations accepted, but not necessary). Parking is located directly in front of the cheese factory - very handy if you really should opt for the large, heavy cheese loaf at the store ...
