But this cheese of donkey milk is so expensive that the throat started drying up on hearing its price. So what is its specialty and why is it so precious? Let us know the story of this unique cheese closely.

Where does the world's most expensive cheese come from?

This unique cheese is made in Serbia, the country of Europe. In a form house called Jaisavika there, it is prepared with milk of the balkan breed donkeys. In this form, more than 200 donkeys are reared, and very little milk is found than each one. While a cow can give up to 30 liters of milk a day, a barely 1 liter of milk comes out from a donkey. This is the reason why 25 liters of milk is required to make 1 kg of cheese, which makes it extremely rare and precious. Its price reaches 70,000 to 1 lakh rupees per kg.

Unique confluence of taste and health

The secret of inflation of this cheese is not only a shortage of it, but also its qualities. Experts say that donkey milk is similar to the properties of mother's milk. It contains protein, vitamins and many nutrients. It is considered beneficial in respiratory diseases like asthma, bronchitis. Also, this is a great option for those who are allergic to cow or buffalo milk. Its taste is also wonderful – Halka salty and creamy, which makes it more special. This cheese of Serbia is called 'Ponel Cheese', and is famous for its price as well as taste.

Why does it fall so expensive?

The process of making this cheese is also not easy. Donkey milk is low in the quantity of cake, which is necessary for the cheese to establish. To give it a correct look, a small amount of goat milk is added to it. It is then processed in a special way. Due to low production, hard work and its huge demand, its price touches the sky. The news of its use of tennis star Novak Djokovic in 2012 made it more popular, although he later denied it. Nevertheless, this cheese still has its special identity around the world.
