Trnič Cheese-Making Workshop with Shepherdess Mica

A truly special workshop where you’ll uncover the secrets of the traditional Trnič cheese from Velika Planina together with Shepherdess Mica.

Trnič is a hand-shaped hard cheese traditionally made by shepherds as a symbol of love and devotion.

The cheerful and welcoming Shepherdess Mica will guide you through the entire process – from preparing the cheese mass and shaping it into its characteristic pear-like form, to decorating it with carved wooden stamps that give Trnič its unique pattern. You’ll learn about the cheese’s story, its meaning within the shepherding community, and its role in the culinary tradition of the mountain.

The workshop is suitable for both children and adults – perfect for anyone who enjoys creating with their hands and exploring old customs. At the end, you’ll craft your own Trnič and take it home as a one-of-a-kind souvenir.
