Picnic list & food to take back home from Lithuania

Dziugas

This cheese is very similar to Grana padano/Parmigiano reggiano. It’s found in every supermarket, it’s got it’s own shops and also found at the airport. Best is to buy the ones aged 24 or 36 months. A must try!

Meats

Lithuania has a lot of smoked meats that are really worth a try. At the supermarket you’ll find a whole area dedicated to smoked meats. In my opinion they are ALL GOOD. Biovela Juodasis kumpis is recommended. Grab a few different ones and see for yourself.

You can buy the more exotic/homemade ones at the main market Hales Turgus (Map link here). You might need a bit of sign language here as English might not be well spoken. Enjoy!

Other Cheeses

Liliputas (Suris) is a light Lithuanian cheese.

Snacks

Bon Chance crisps are ‘local’ (baltic) crisps. Very good snack for picnics.

Chocolates

Taitau dark chocolate is awesome.

Pergale & Karuna chocolates are local and good. The chocolate covered nuts are particularly good.

Brown Bread

My personal favourite is JORE brown bread, but there are loads to choose from at the supermarkets or markets.
