Prior to this, Gatački Kajmak was registered within Bosnia and Herzegovina in accordance with the Rulebook on Quality Systems for Food Products — a necessary prerequisite for submitting an EU-level application, the Agency stated.

This traditional delicacy is made by aging thermally treated full-fat cow’s milk — from the indigenous Gatačko cattle breed — in a cleaned and prepared sheep’s skin.

No thickeners, artificial flavors, or starter cultures are added in the production process. The only permitted additive is table salt, making it a purely natural and authentic product.
