- The current popularity for craft beer has strengthened sales of Džiugas, the Lithuanian cheese
Fans of craft beer have found that the Džiugas mature varieties – Piquant 24 and Gourmet 36 – pair well with strong, dark ales, while the younger maturities – Mild 12 and Delicate 18 – are ideal matches for paler beers.
Popular during the festive season in its native Lithuania, Džiugas is also traditionally offered with honey and nuts as a gift at Christmas.
A Džiugas spokesperson said, “Džiugas is a good proposition for cashing in on the trend for micro-breweries and craft beers. Pre-Christmas sampling sessions with local beers alongside a Lithuanian cheese offer a good talking point and great proposition for extra sales!”
