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.

The ancient Italian cheese, Montasio, dates back to the 13th century. Born in the beautiful Carnic Alps of northeastern Italy, Montasio was first known as “Carnia” (the name of Friuli’s culture-colliding, mountainous region found between Austria – to the north, and Slovenia – to the east). The herb-saturated alpine pastures on which the cattle graze account for the high-butterfat content milk that forms Montasio’s unmistakable richness and slightly sweet, grassy flavor. After 2 months of controlled aging, Montasio is sold as fresco, Italian for “fresh”. It is the youngest variety of this renowned semi-hard, cooked cheese. Montasio fresco has a white, dense paste dotted with holes, a smooth texture, and a nutty, tangy, yet delicately mild taste within its soft rind that bears the official Montasio Protection Consortium stamp and identification numbers.
This naturally sweet, yet surprisingly light, soft cheese is made from the freshest pasteurized cream. The ultimate dessert cheese, it compliments chocolates, coffee, fruits, liqueurs and is used to make tiramisu. Excellent on pasta, or as a delicious spread (with just half the calories of butter.) Kosher approved.

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.
Cacio Di Bosco al Tartufo is a Tuscan cheese made from sheep`s milk. It is studded with tiny specks of truffles and is pure heaven to eat. The long maturation balances the taste of pecorino with the strong taste of truffle, and it has a friable and slightly sour paste. The ingredients blend together superbly, making for a beautiful balance between garlicky truffle and nutty, sweet, almost caramelized aged sheep`s milk. This delicious cheese is firm, smooth, and oily, dotted with big flecks of truffle. It is refreshing as a table cheese and also shreds well to top risotto
