flag Gacko kajmak, a smoked sheepskin-aged cheese from Bosnia, gained PDO status in 2024 and is now protected under EU recognition efforts.

flag In southern Bosnia near Gacko, farmer Branka Buha continues a centuries-old tradition of making kajmak cheese aged in smoked sheepskin sacks, using milk from her free-ranging cows. flag The cheese, known for its smoky, crumbly texture and unique flavor, received Bosnia’s Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status in 2024, restricting production to local cows fed regional hay. flag Buha and her husband produce 500 to 600 kilograms annually, selling directly to consumers and restaurants. flag The Gacko Kajmak Producers Association has applied for EU-level PDO recognition, though the small output makes it a cultural symbol rather than a major export.
