For over a century now, the company “Žemaitijos Pienas”, established in Telšiai, has been producing dairy products, best assessed by time and buyers. Long years of experience, traditions and the application of the cutting edge technology allowed to create a recipe for the most famous cheese in Lithuania Džiugas®, named after the legendary founder of Telšiai city, the Giant Džiugas.

Cheese Džiugas® is being made only during spring and summer of freely grazing highest quality cows’ milk – it creates the cheese of rich taste and aroma.

The value and the unique taste of cheese DŽIUGAS have been created by the cheese technologists of even three different nations: Lithuania, Italy, and USA.

SPECIAL EVALUATION:

The European Commission granted a Protected Geographical Indication status for Džiugas® cheese produced by “Žemaitijos Pienas”.

Džiugas® is a delicious and iconic cheese made in Lithuania. It has a special flavour determined by the quality of milk used for its production, the expertise of manufacturers, and the time it is allowed to mature.

Traditionally Džiugas® ripens for at least 12 months but one may also enjoy it at any age up to 48 months.

It is made from the best quality milk of healthy cows that graze on the lush green pastures during the summer season. Their milk thus gains a flavour of summer time.

Džiugas® ripens in the environment full of music, to be precise, its ripening process takes place in a room where quiet symphonies by M. K. Čiurlionis and M. K. Oginskis, a famous Lithuanian composers, as well as other pieces of music are played. This gives the cheese not only a unique taste, but also a soul.

The cheese is traditionally made from cow’s milk which is transformed into cheese through a natural process. The cheese is pressed into wheels and then submerged in the brine baths to protect and preserve them.

The cheese is then allowed simply to mature in the carefully managed conditions under the watchful eyes of the Džiugas® cheese masters, until it becomes ready for use.

During the maturation process, the flavour, colour, aroma, and texture of the cheese change and become more concentrated, and the cheese becomes virtually rindless and particularly delicious.
