English translation:hard sheep (milk) cheese
Explanation:
Pretpostavljam da je to zapravo paški sir pa prema tome, hard sheep cheese from the island of Pag
Hard Cheese is often pigeon-holed, to its detriment, as a "grating cheese". In fact, hard cheeses are packed with flavor and deserve a place on any great cheese plate. The maturation period of these cheeses is usually measured in years, not months. To ripen a cheese to such an extent, the cheesemaker must take extra care at the outset to use only the highest quality starter cultures, rennet, and milk.
Some common hard cheeses include Parmigiano-Reggiano, Aged Gouda, Pecorino Toscano, and Sbrinz.

Pag cheese (Paski sir) is a hard type cheese made from the milk of the autochthon sheep from island of Pag. Pag cheese matures for 6-12 months. It has characteristic piquant taste, particular smell and mildly marble and grained texture. It is yellow inside and has golden yellow rind. It crumbles and melts in the mouth. When grated, Pag cheese is used as an addition to many traditional fish and meat specialties. Pag cheese is in the form of a reel and weighs about two kilos.

Looking for cheese from the Croatian island of Pag (Pag cheese, paski sir) somewhere around here. Haven't had much luck finding it online, and when I called the South Shore Meat Market in San Pedro they said they didn't have any. Also, it appears that Sunshine Market is no longer, may it rest in peace. If anyone knows where I can buy this delectable, hard cheese, please let me know! I remember it as tasting kind of like a cross between parmigiano-reggiano and blue cheese. Just very unique and oh so tasty!

hard sheep's milk cheese (island produce)....
island-made hard sheep's milk cheese ...

jelovnik sigurno nije doktorska dizertacija:)), ali lijepo bi bilo naći nešto što bi zvučalo prirodno i dobro i prenijelo to naše "otočko".... no, tko će staviti stotine naših otoka u jednu Otočku (mislim englesku, eheeh) riječ.... još sam navela neke varijante koje su mi pale napamet, možda nešto i dolazi u obzir za kombinacije, i uz Gioin island cheese..

gurmani, hajmo:)))

ja ne znam zašto ali nekako bih stavila hard ipak ispred sira a ne ispred ovčijeg mlijeka, tj. sheep's milk hard cheese... no, kako ne znam zašto bi to napravila nisam ni uvjerljiva:)))...
