Vlašić is a white brined cheese from Travnik in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The name comes from the mountain pastures above the town, where herders have long made it. Traditional batches use sheep's milk, and some makers blend in cow's milk. Salt and brine shape the cheese more than any thick rind does. A drained piece is firm, pale, and quite salty, with a clean sour milk tang.
