Goat cheeseThe taste of the meadows around Pecka

The recipe is never written down — it is passed on, one generation to the next. This goat cheese is made at a household just outside Pecka, from the milk of the family's own goats, grazing the same meadows they have grazed for generations.

The secret of good goat cheese is not the recipe but the pasture. Goats that eat wild herbs, grass and flowers on clean mountain meadows give milk unlike any industrial milk — richer, more fragrant, with character. That character stays in the cheese: every piece tastes of exactly that place and exactly that season.

Served with a Varcar beer or a glass of homemade rakija, this cheese is the best introduction to everything Pecka is — simple, honest and tied to the ground.
