"Žemaitijos pienas" is a history that started with a single drop of milk and has grown into one of the most modern dairy processing companies. The company was founded in 1924 in Telšiai, the heart of Žemaitija, and has been producing top-quality products for 100 years.
In Telšiai, the pride of the dairy – the hard cheese "Džiugas" – is born, with the entire production process carried out under one roof, ensuring exceptional quality. This Lithuanian cheese is produced alongside butter, curd, cream, yogurt, and other exclusive dairy products.
Each piece of "Džiugas" cheese is a part of a legend that echoes around the world. From Žemaitija to Paris, from Berlin to Athens, the story of the giant Džiugas and his beloved Austelė, who built a city on the foundations of dreams, spreads far and wide.
The name "Džiugas" brings pride to Lithuania, as the taste of this long-aged cheese is a universal language understood by all.
A product nurtured for centuries is now known not only in Lithuania but also globally, earning top awards and consumer recognition.
