DŽIUGAS® has a trademark flavour that is easy to recognise at every stage of maturity. The different stages or ages at which it is sold are: ‘mild’ (over 12 months), ‘piquant’ (over 18 months), ‘delicate’ (over 24 months) and ‘gourmet’ (over 36 months old). As the cheese ages and ripens, the quality and flavour is improved and the characteristic taste deepens and develops. | |||
Having sampled a few of these cheeses, I would say they are similar to a high quality [[Parmesan]]. Perfect for shaving and grating over pasta, enriching sauces and especially for [[Shaved Džiugas cheese|shaving and nibbling]]. | Having sampled a few of these cheeses, I would say they are similar to a high quality [[Parmesan]].
