Rokiðkio sûris AB, often called the flagship of Lithuanian dairy industry, is an excellent example of how traditions can go hand in hand with a modern manufacturing process. It is not accidental that this company is located in Aukðtaitija, one of the most beautiful regions of Lithuania, where fertile plains and luxuriant meadows are surrounded by forests and decorated with blue lakes, where the land itself has been famous for dairying traditions and the largest milk yields for centuries.

Named after a town on the Russian-Lithuanian border, the first Tilsit cheese was made in the 1700s by Dutch immigrants trying to make Gouda. An excellent melting cheese with a medium-firm texture, Lithuanian Tilsit has small, irregularly shaped eyes. It is only slightly tangier than Danish Havarti. Great for snacking or for flavoring foods such as sauces and vegetable dishes!

• Made from pasteurized cow's milk.
