Livno cheese is a hard cheese from Livno in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Makers use cow's milk, sheep's milk, or a mix of the two, and the wheels are round with a smooth natural rind. The paste is compact and pale yellow, often with a few small eyes scattered through it. The smell is strong and savory, like a mature mountain cheese. People also call it Livanjski sir, which is the Bosnian name for the same cheese.
