Sheep breeding is a centuries old occupation here. The tourist can buy the famous Trvanik cheese directly from the shepherds in the mountains. The Vlasic Mountain is also famous of the Vlasic cheese which is one of the best white cheeses in brine. It is assumed that a technique of cheese making in brine was brought by nomads from East who called themselves Vlasic. So, Vlasic was named after them. This tradition was later taken over by farmers from other mountains so this cheese is now being produced all over Bosnia and a broad region. Cheese is being originally produced by using non pasteurized, fresh sheep milk, right after the milking. It is mostly being produced on the Mountain in sheds called katuns and kept on the mountain for 2-3 months for aging. After that, villagers were selling it around, but mostly on the Travnik market so it is also called Travnik cheese. However, Vlašić/Travnik cheese can be also produced of cows milk for the ones for whom the aroma of sheep milk is too strong. Cheese is traditionally being cut into thick slices and stored in wooden casks.
