Šar cheese
Šar cheese ((アルバニア語:Djathë i Sharrit), (セルビア語:Šarski sir/Шарски сир)) is a hard cheese made in Gora, Opolje and Štrpce, located in the Šar Mountains of Kosovo. It is made of sheep and cow milk and usually added to salads and main dishes, pitas, served with bread or eaten alone. The hallmarks of the cheese are its saltiness, and the fact that it is a treat for any time of the day or year.
== History ==
The tradition of producing Šar cheese has been passed on to generations for centuries. By the 1890s, the cheese became popular; the Serbian newspaper ''Carigradski glasnik'' of 28 July 1901 said that the cheese had overwhelmed the neighbouring markets because of its yellow fatty look and taste which had not been seen in other cheeses.
Traditionally, Šar cheese was produced on sheep milk. Another reason why sheep milk was usually used was because cows were not able to climb the highland and reach the favorite grass and herbs which give Šar cheese its main characteristics. It is known that the main herb which impacts the aroma and taste of Šar cheese is dill, which is very common in the highlands over 1100 meters altitude. After the people of the Šar region had begun to use cow milk for the cheese, they started to collect the dill herb for its use as an external ingredient during the production process, with the aim to preserve the original characteristics of the cheese.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.coolinarika.com/recept/sarski-sir/ )〕 Centuries ago, there were vast numbers of sheep in the region, up to 100,000; today this number has fallen to 5,000.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.southeast-europe.eu/features/wonders/the-sar-mountains.html )〕
The Šar cheese is different because the region is naturally rich in unique herbs and aromatic plants which results in a much richer, better-tasting milk.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mercycorps.org/topics/civilsociety?page=8 )〕 Even though the cheese is popular in its solid form, there is also a soft version of it. Either solid or soft, for decades the cheese was handmade at old wooden shepherds’ huts or in the homes of mountain village folks. Lately however, companies have launched industrial production lines of this product.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.southeast-europe.eu/map/kosovo/gastronomy7/sara-cheese-a-jealously-guarded-secret.html?print=1&no_cache=1 )〕
