The Livno cheese (Bosnian: Livanjski sir/Ливањски сир) is a cheese first produced in the 19th century in the area of Livno, Bosnia and Herzegovina.[1][2][3][4] The Livno cheese is produced on the basis of French technology of making the Gruyère cheese. Originally, it was made from sheep's milk and nowadays it is mainly made from a mixture of sheep's and cow's milk. Its maturation period is between 60 and 66 days in a controlled environment. The flavor is robust, and in more aged cheeses the taste is slightly tangy. The largest producers are Mljekara Livno and Lura Dairy d.o.o. Livno, with a yearly production exceeding 500 metric tons.[1][2][3][4]
