Founded in the picturesque town of Samogitia, the Džiugas cheese company has been producing award-winning cheeses for over a century. With one of the largest and most advanced cheese facilities in Lithuania, the rolling hillsides and valleys make this region ideal for cattle grazing and cheese making.Although similar to its Argentinean counterpart, Prima Reggianito features exceptional taste, texture and a prolonged maturation period, resulting in a profound difference in flavor. The hard cow’s milk cheese is aged for over a year, featuring a crystallized crunch and granular texture. During its aging, the cheese develops a slightly piquant taste and slight bitterness, similar to Grana Padano. Its savory and salty properties are enfolded by its distinguished ivory colored, GMO and rBST-free interior.

Produced according to ancient traditions in the sheepfolds by Sardinian shepherds with raw milk to preserve the high nutritional value of sheep’s milk. The texture inside is firm, it has a characteristic smoky aroma and a spicy, savory taste. It has the typical shape “a dorso di mulo” that means rounded sides, a wrinkled rind, smoked and dark in color due to the treatment with olive oil during maturation. The cheese inside is white tending to straw-yellow. After selecting the best cheese, the Pinna Company takes care of the maturation, the smoking process and the product marketing stage.
Pinna follows the principles of time-honored Sardinian tradition when selecting the finest goat’s milk in Sardinia to produce a hard cheese, with strong fragrant characteristics that come from the special essential oils in the grazing land of the Sardinian hinterland, where goat breeds are raised. The cheese is ready after being aged at least 4 months in Pinna’s traditional cellars. It has a cylindrical shape with flat sides. The rind is dark in color; the texture is hard, compact with an ivory-white color.
Typical soft, mild Sardinian table cheese, with a fresh and flavorsome taste. The rind is smooth, straw-yellow in color. The cheese inside is white with a few eyes. The unique characteristics of this cheese were officially recognized in 1996, by the award of the “Protected Designation of Origin” label, which has helped safeguard production technique, protecting the original flavor and increasing its presence on the market.
No cheese case would be complete without Gorgonzola, Italy’s contribution to the big blues of the world. This piccante version, called Mountain Gorgonzola, is a “natural” type of cheese, and matures for 90 days. With its buttery consistency and fervent blue veining, it straddles the line between creamy and crumbly, making it suitable for the table as well as sauces and salads.
Boschetto al Tartufo Bianchetto is a fresh cheese from sheep`s milk and cow`s milk. A precious harmony between the pronounced taste, the pungent truffle`s flavor and the delicate, sweet taste of the tender paste.
