Novalja is the largest town on the island and has an active harbour ith lots of fishing boats.
It is mainly a place for swimming so we are about to move to PagTown for our 2nd night on the island.
Pag cheese, the distinctive paski sir, is a sheep's cheese that is salty and sharp. The sheep graze on the salty herbs and grass transmitting the flavour to their meat and milk. it is only gathered in May.

So, did you try the cheese? Can you bring some of that back for me too? Just put it in the same package as the pedestal.
Mmmmm Cheese. If you think you can get it through customs I'll have some too. And if you happen to be going back through Italy again chuck in a buffalo mozzarella as well thanks!
The cheese is very salty. The landscape on Pag is a bit lunar. All the sheep have to eat is saltbush and native herbs. The meat has a distinctive flavour as does the cheese. If we can get some home, you can have our share!
You can buy saltbush lamb at our local markets, it has a lovely flavour. But it's Aussie saltbush not Croatian that they eat.
