In the heart of the Vojvodina plains, in the village of Čurug, cheeses are crafted that unite tradition and quality. Zorica Radišić, from the dairy producer Farmer Sirevi, guides us through the story of authentic products, among which Ambassador stands out as the true jewel of the collection.
“These cheeses come from pure, full-fat, first-class milk produced on our own farm. Each wheel is carefully left to mature, and the aging period varies, creating different varieties of semi-hard cheeses,” Zorica explains for HEDONIST Magazine.
Ambassador takes center stage - impressive wheels weighing between seven and eight kilograms, though smaller versions are also available. Its character lies somewhere between cheddar and gouda, offering a rich, full flavor with refined, almost medicinal notes.
It pairs beautifully with quality red wine and represents a genuine pleasure for cheese lovers.
Alongside Ambassador, the farm also produces Ataše - a younger expression of semi-hard cheese - as well as rolled cheeses that sit stylistically between mozzarella and traditional Balkan kačkavalj.
All cheeses are handmade, using natural rennet and sea salt, and must age for a minimum of three months under controlled conditions in order to develop their authentic flavor and texture.
The production relies on premium, aflatoxin-free milk sourced from cows raised on carefully controlled feed, ensuring both high quality and the natural character of the final product.
“Our cheeses are more than food - they are a reflection of tradition, care, and dedication that we invest every single day,” Zorica adds.
Farmer Sirevi from Čurug represents a true example of artisanal cheese-making tradition, where every product carries the story of the Vojvodina plains, high-quality milk, and the patience that proper aging requires.
