We encourage homemade

In the middle of the unspoilt nature below Triglav, in the central area of the Triglav National Park, lies the farm and cheese factory of the Vertelj family. Our sheep graze on the highest mountain pastures, under the mighty mountains, which give milk for the production of authentic sheep's cheese and cottage cheese. Homemade sheep's cheese and cottage cheese are produced in the traditional way, as it was produced in these places by previous generations.

The farm near Lepočer has its roots at least as far back as the 18th century. Knowledge of sheep farming and cheese and curd production technology was passed down from generation to generation through oral tradition. Now we have 50 dairy sheep on the farm. The sheep already lamb in January so that we can start producing cheese in mid-March. We sell the lambs for Easter, leaving the rest for domestic use. The farm is 1000 meters above sea level, where the grass gives the milk-cheese and cottage cheese a special taste and aroma.
