Dairy products

Pađeni Dairy can boasts of its range of quality products.
The market has recognised them. It produces milk, sour
creams, yoghurts, fresh cheeses, Hercegovački sitni sir
(Herzegovinian grainy cheese), Meka šnita (Soft slices
cheese) etc.
There are traditional kajmak (sour cream spreads), kajmak
iz mijeha (sack sour cream spreads) and the delicious –sir
iz mijeha (sack cheese). Hercegovačka šnita (Herzegovi-
nian slice cheese), kačkavalj cheese (Caciocavallo) and
buffet-style cheese are very popular too. Milk products
undergo varying degrees of deterioration during storage
so they are controlled all the time. Kajmak (sour cream)
ripens 24+24 hours, and after that it is drained out and
2 packed. Kačkavalj cheese ripens 7 to 15 days and it has
to be tumbled and brushed during that period.
Expiration period of this cheese is usually 90 days. Sir
iz mijeha is made only in summer during grazing time
and is made from milk that tastes of grass.

require high quality milk”, Rogač said.
“We test milk in our laboratory where we control the quality
and then we send milk to the tanks and pasteurizers. We clean
pasteurizers using water, than soda, than water, than special
acid and water again. In this order. At the end we clean them
