Basa Traditional Lika Cheese

We proudly present Cheese Basa from Lika, an exceptional Croatian cheese steeped in tradition and flavor.

Basa is a unique Croatian cheese that is typically produced from the "buša" cow breed in the region of Lika, although it can contain sheep's milk as well. This soft cheese has a delicately creamy texture and can also be used as a spread or as an accompaniment to charcuterie products or baked potatoes.

Basa is most commonly made by combining varenika (boiled and chilled milk), sour milk, and salt. When the mixture becomes stiff, the whey is drained, and basa is wrapped in a cloth to drain completely. All that is left is to enjoy the delicious flavors and textures of this exceptional Croatian product.
