Mohant is a soft white cheese of a white-yellowish, beige or pale buttery colour made of raw cow milk with a distinct strong aroma and piquant taste.

The production of the cheese, according to many oral and written sources, dates back to the 18th century and originates in the town of Bohinj (NW).

The traditional method of producing the cheese in two phases has a crucial influence on its aroma, taste and texture.

Besides Mohant, another three cheeses (Bovški sir, Nanoški sir and Tolminec) have also been registered at the EU.
