Cheese dairy Healthy nutrition for children was the reason why the first goat arrived in Tatjana Lovrić Jovanović’s yard in 2011. Four years later she established a family farm for organic goat breeding. Today, she has around sixty dairy goats and 30 kids, some of which are kept for herd renewal. Over the past five years, she has also begun producing premium goat cheese. A former judoka born in Vinkovci, won around forty medals at national, European, and world competitions during her sports career. She moved to Komletinci because of love: with husband Željko she has five children. On her farm, located about 30 kilometers from Vinkovci, she produces various types of cheese - white and smoked semi-hard cheeses, very hard grated cheese, and cheeses flavored with chives, hemp, capers, hot pepper, and kulen, as well as cheeses marinated in pumpkin seed, olive, sunflower, and walnut oil. Her sweet orange and lemon cheese is particularly well known, becoming a dessert when coated with chocolate. She produces 1.3 tons of cheese and cheese cracklings annually. These fat-free snacks are made using a secret recipe, with achieving their crispiness being the greatest challenge. She has won numerous awards for her products, and in 2023 her farm was named the best in Croatia.
