What is Pule Cheese?
Pule, also called magareći sir, is a Serbian cheese. It is produced at the Zasavica Nature Reserve.
The mix is 60% Balkan donkey milk and 40% goat's milk. Only about 100 jennies in the Balkan donkey landrace are milked for it, and one kilogram (2 lb 3 oz) of cheese takes 25 litres (6 1/2 US gal) of milk.
That is why it costs what it does. Pule has been reported as the world's most expensive cheese at US$1300 per kilogram.
The taste is said to resemble manchego, nutty and earthy, with a crumbly texture.
In 2012, tabloids including The Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail reported that Novak Djokovic had bought the entire world supply for his restaurants. A manager at Zasavica denied it, saying his restaurant had only been given a sample.
