Preveli is a cheese from Croatia, specifically from the region around the Preveli monastery on the island of Krk. This sheep's milk cheese is aged in local olive oil, giving it a distinctive, rich flavor and a slightly crumbly texture. It is often served with Mediterranean dishes or as part of a cheese platter.
