Cheese dairy In the municipality of Draž, the 24-year-old entrepreneur Sintija Lenđel has modernized her family’s long-standing dairy tradition. Managing 200 Holstein-Friesian cattle and 200 hectares of land, her farm produces around 1,500 liters of milk daily. After graduating from the Faculty of Agrobiotechnical Sciences in Osijek, she brought her family’s long tradition of livestock farming into the world of robotics. Half of the milk is sold to Belje, while the rest is transformed into high-quality cheeses and dairy products. Her award-winning cheese Baranjsko zlato and traditional parenjica (a stretched, braided cheese shaped into small spirals) are particularly popular, often featured in leading Baranja restaurants. Customers also praise their Greek-style yogurt in flavors such as strawberry, forest fruit, peach, and passion fruit, as well as their firm yogurt and cream. Their cows graze freely on rich pastures, additional feed is produced on-site, and modern robotic technology is used alongside traditional recipes.
