Sirana Kulje ECO

Miljana i Željko Kuljić žive u selu Donja Trusina i bave se proizvodnjom tradicionalnih sireva, na prvom mjestu sira iz mješine i škripavca. Sirana je brendirana pod nazivom „Kulje EKO“. Kuljići su specifični po tome što u proizvodnji koriste iskuljučivo mlijeko autohtonih pasmina goveda, kao što su buša i gatačko govedo, upotrebljavaju organska sirila i nejodiranu so, dok se sama tehnologija proizvodnje bazira na starim receptima. Kod očuvanja tradicionalnih receptura pomaže im Željkova majka Dragica, koju u šali često nazivaju „stručnim savjetnikom“ za proizvodnju nekadašnjih sireva. Mlađi naraštaji Kuljića - Luka, Marija i Žarko, pored školskih obaveza aktivno učestvuju u svim poslovima domaćinstva. Čuvaju krave i ovce, pomažu kod sakupljanja ljetine i sl. Važno je naglasiti da se cjelokupan proizvodni proces odvija u savremeno opremljenoj mini sirani, u kojoj se na optimalan način kombinuju moderna tehničko-tehnološka dostignuća u proizvodnji sira, sa tradicionalnim recepima i lokalno proizvedenim mlijekom.

Miljana and Željko Kuljić live in the village of Donja Trusina, where they produce traditional cheeses, primarily sir iz mješine (cheese aged in a sheepskin sack) and škripavac (traditional squeaky cheese). Their dairy operates under the brand name Kulje EKO. What makes the Kuljić family particularly special is their commitment to using exclusively milk from indigenous cattle breeds, such as Buša and Gacko cattle. They also use organic rennet and non-iodized salt, while their cheese-making methods are based on recipes passed down through generations. Željko’s mother, Dragica, plays an important role in preserving these traditional recipes. The family affectionately refers to her as their “expert adviser” on traditional cheese-making. The younger generation of the Kuljić family—Luka, Marija, and Žarko—also actively participates in daily farm activities alongside their school responsibilities. They look after the cows and sheep, help with harvesting, and contribute to other household and farming tasks. It is worth highlighting that the entire production process takes place in a modern, fully equipped small-scale dairy, where contemporary cheese-making technology is carefully combined with traditional recipes and locally produced milk.
