Description
Experience the rich heritage of Lithuanian cheese with Džiugas Hard Cheese, matured for 24 months to develop its distinctive robust flavor and hard, dense texture. Crafted in the Telšiai region from standardized and pasteurized cow’s milk, this cheese undergoes a meticulous aging process that results in a complex, nutty, and slightly caramel-like taste profile. Its aging also produces characteristic crunchy calcium crystals, a mark of quality and patience. This cheese is perfect for savoring on its own, grating over dishes, or pairing with fruits and fine wines.
