The range covers the flagship Pag cheese at different ages, along with goat and cow cheeses, the ones matured in olive lees or in wine, and cured meat and oil to go with them.

Tasting before buying is normal, which matters because the price rises steeply with the age of the cheese and the difference is worth understanding. Vacuum packing is the practical question to ask if the cheese is going home in a suitcase; the harder cheeses survive the journey with least trouble.
