Livanjski sir from Mljekara Livno has taken the World Cheese Awards and a Superior Taste Award five years running. People drive to the dairy in Livno to buy it by the kilo. None of that came across online. The old site was a plain brochure: a logo, a few low-resolution photos, and a phone number. A product people trust deeply, presented like an afterthought.
A site that carries it
The result is a fast, modern site Mljekara Livno runs themselves. Products, news, and the story all live in a CMS the team updates without touching code, in Croatian and English.
The catalog puts the cheeses front and center, exactly as they were photographed, in a shelf you'd actually want to buy from. Every cheese opens onto a page that reads like a label worth keeping: the packshot, the protected-origin mark, the tasting notes, and the medals it has won, laid out plainly.
The heritage finally has somewhere to live too, a timeline that runs from 1878 to today. The cheese now looks online the way it tastes: precise, proud, and rooted in Livno.
Product photography for the catalog
So we shot it properly. Every cheese in the range, the original Livanjski, the goat, the smoked, and the Trappist, photographed as the product it is: on the board, cut, styled, and lit. Clean packshots that work on the shelf, in the shop, and across the site, not phone snaps under fluorescent light.
The site needed every cheese at the same scale, on the same surface, with the label readable at a glance. We shot clean packshots for the full range: Livanjac, Original, Cincar, smoked, limited edition, goat, pepper, and Trappist. Same light, same angle, same crop, so they line up in the product grid and open cleanly on the product page.
Built on more than a century
Mljekara Livno has made this cheese the same way for over 130 years. The story goes back to the old agricultural station in Livno, where it was first produced and sold as "Bosnischer Alpenkäse." We pulled the original seals, labels, and photographs out of the archive, then cleaned and upscaled them, so the heritage is something you can see, not just a line of copy.
Where you actually buy it
The dairy still sells straight from its shop in Livno and exports across Europe. The site sends people to both, and shows the place itself, so a name on a label becomes somewhere real you can walk into.
“Our tradition is rich, but online it never showed. The new design joined history and a modern look, so the site finally looks like our product.”
Result: A stronger first impression that connects tradition with a modern brand.
