BiH's Livno Cheese added to EU' register of Protected Geographical Indication


SARAJEVO, Dec. 12 (Xinhua) -- The European Commission has officially recognized Bosnia and Herzegovina's "Livno Cheese" (Livanjski sir) as a product of exceptional agricultural heritage, adding it to the prestigious register of Protected Geographical Indications (PGI).

A news release from the European Union on Thursday said that Livno cheese, a hard, full-fat cheese made from cow's milk, sheep's milk, or a blend of both, is celebrated for its slightly sweet, nutty flavor and distinctive piquant aroma. This unique character originates from livestock grazing on the aromatic pastures of the Livno region in western Bosnia, nourished by the blend of Mediterranean and continental climate.
