Veli Jože is a premium hard cow’s milk cheese from Istria, crafted by the family-owned Mljekara Latus, located in the heart of the region, in the town of Žminj. Aged for 300 days on firwood boards, this cheese develops a rich, complex flavor and a distinctive aroma that reflect its artisanal production.

Made from pasteurized, full-fat, non-homogenized milk, Veli Jože contains at least 60% milk fat in dry matter. Its ingredients include pasteurized milk, rennet, salt, and dairy cultures.

The cheese has a firm texture and a bold, intense taste, making it a perfect match for a glass of wine or an excellent addition to various dishes.
