Bosnian Smoked Cheese (Suhi Sir)

Bosnian Smoked Cheese (also known as Suhi Sir) is a type of cheese originating in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Background

Northern Bosnia and Herzegovina has a rich agricultural history. Farmers in the region became skilled in the techniques of smoking and salting as methods of meat preservation prior to the introduction of commercial refrigeration, and used these methods to develop local meat dishes such as suho meso. Smoking was also adopted in the production of dairy products, including cheese. Similar smoked cheeses are also found in other countries in the Balkans, including Croatia[1] and Serbia.
