All of the dairy products used in the manufacture of Džiugas cheeses are sourced from the Baltic region. | All of the dairy products used in the manufacture of Džiugas cheeses are sourced from the Baltic region. The cheeses are produced using [[milk]] from cows reared exclusively in one of the best preserved natural areas of Europe. The livestock is fed following a precise diet of fodder and [[vegetable]] feed, which is reflected in the quality of the [[milk]] used. | ||
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. The taste is very milky, especially in the 12 months version, but unlike many, these cheeses are full of flavour. | |||

They are perfect for shaving and grating over pasta and vegetables, enriching sauces and especially for [[Shaved Džiugas cheese|shaving and nibbling]]. It also makes an excellent table cheese, especially if served with pieces of melon, figs and hazelnuts cheese and goes very well with Shiraz or Cava. | ||
