Pljeval cheese is among the best on the planet
Let's remind you that at the beginning of this year, TasteAtlas published a list of the best cheeses in the world, and Pljeval cheese came in 27th place, ahead of many well-known world cheeses: Italian mozzarella and Swiss Grier.
Italian parmesan, gorgonzola and burrata are in first place, as expected, and Pljeval cheese earned a rating of 4.6 on the prestigious website.
TasteAtlas wrote then that Pljeval cheese is a staple of many dishes in Montenegro.
This white cheese is traditionally produced from raw cow's milk, and the cheese is characterized by a strong taste and creamy texture.
Its unique aromas are the result of the ripening process that takes place in specially designed wooden barrels - the sliced cheese is salted, placed in wooden barrels, and then immersed in brine.
Pljeval cheese needs to age for 15 days before it is ready for consumption. It is so popular that the Days of Pljeval cheese event is held every year, where numerous producers from the Pljeval region present their cheeses.
