PAG CHEESE

Another thing that you just have to try while traveling is the Pag cheese. This cheese has a very special story that explains the specific taste of the cheese: it is made from the milk of the indigenous sheep of Pag who feed on the island's greenery, on which the wind blows sprinkles of salt. Do try the cheese which is at least 5 months old, for its very intense and sharp aroma which later melts in your mouth.

Pag cheese carries the label of the Croatian Creation and represents Croatia and Pag in the European Union's trade fairs. It can be bought on the family farms and the island's cheese factories!

Other than gastronomy, Pag is known for its beautiful beaches.

One of them is Sveti Duh (St. Spirit) beach, a beautiful beach overlooking the grand mountain Velebit. Imagine swimming with a view of the mountains! The sea is crystal clear and the Sun will keep you warm and tan. After swimming and tanning, relax in the camp near the beach!
