Aged sheep-milk cheese from the bura-windswept island of Pag, distinguished by the sage, rosemary and lavender that flavour its milk. Salty, nutty, firm, often compared to Manchego, sliced thin onto pršut boards.
Paški sir has been made on Pag Island for centuries from the milk of the indigenous Paška Ovca breed, whose diet of wind-salted karst herbs gives the cheese its distinctive character. The cheese received protected designation of origin (PDO) and has won repeated international awards. Split's pršut boards always carry a wedge.
