Pule cheese

Pule cheese or magareći sir, is a serbian donkey cheese made from 60% of donkey milk of Balkan donkeys and 40% of goat milk.[2][3]

Pule is produced in Zasavica Nature Reserve by the idea of Slobodan Simic, former MP Serbian and Zasavica Special Nature Reserve Manager.

A distinctive dairy product of Serbian cuisine, pule is reportedly the "world's most expensive cheese", fetching 1,000 Euros per kilogram.[1] [4][5][6] It is so expensive because of its rarity: there are only about 100 jennies in the landrace of Balkan donkeys that are milked for pule-making and it takes 25 litres (6.6 gallons) of milk to create one kilogram (2.2 pounds) of cheese.[1][4]
