Djokovic who is clearly at the peak of his career (you really cant go any higher than being #1) has decided on opening a chain of restaurants as his retirement policy. In order to set his restaurants apart,Novak purchased the entire years supply (2013) of the worlds most expensive cheese. So valued is this cheese that it would usually retail for 1020 Euro per 500gr ($585 per pound).</span></div><a name="more"></a><br /><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal"> </div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Made from Donkey’s milk , we have but Mr. Djokovics word that it is indeed delicious. This special cheese is made only at the Zasavica farm in Serbia and is the only one that is made from donkeys milk. The cheese which we are told has anti-allergen properties and is a white crumbly one has a distinctive taste due to the fact that the donkeys are raised in a special Serbian wildlife reserve.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span>The cheese will be used in the chain of restaurants that Novak will  shortly open.
