This cheese of a specific triangular shape is a real pride of Lithuania. The distinctive cheese is exclusive not only by its form, but also by the ancient method of its production. It is produced from pasteurized cow milk, various herbs and lactic acid are used, giving it a delicious sour-milk flavour. The cheese mass is hand-stuffed into traditional gappy triangle cheese-bags, pressed and then left to rest for some time. Then it is removed and placed on a wooden plate to get dry. The last stop of this product is a smokehouse, after which the cheese goes deeply fragrant and "tanned".
