塞爾維亞驢奶cheese

一種由特產於塞爾維亞 Zasavica名叫magarica的母驢(體型較小)奶水所製成的起司，是目前世界上最昂貴的起司(一片就要價50歐元)；除了因為其每天的產量只有300毫升之外，最主要的原因是其含有豐富的維他命和礦物質，具有養顏美容與增強免疫力的功效，早為巴爾幹島居民用來維持青春的聖品，據說若用於泡澡，甚至有壯陽的功效。由於其所含酪蛋白不足，必須添加羊奶，才能製成起司，混合的比率為60%的驢奶與40%的羊奶。

塞爾維亞居民早餐習慣搭配土耳其咖啡與驢奶，這種驢奶滋味清甜，而製成的起司亦清甜與滑順，絕無羊奶起司固有的濃烈味道和乾碎。

The donkey milk cheese is the most expensive cheese in the world due to the extremely low milk yield of the magarica (female donkey): just 300 millilitres per day. Rich in vitamins and minerals, donkey milk is believed to slow down the ageing process and has been used as an immunity booster in the Balkans since ancient times. Cleopatra allegedly even bathed in it. It is also purported to boost virility.

Its flavour was sweet, clean and mild, unlike any cheese I had ever tasted.---Donkey milk doesn’t have enough casein to make cheese, so he compensated by adding goat milk to the mix. The winning formula, which Marinković is in the process of patenting, turned out to be 60% donkey milk and 40% goat milk.
