About Gastronomic Heritage - Cheeses
Manor houses of Lithuania were famous for their traditions of production of fresh cheese already in the Middle Ages. The production process has remained almost unchanged to these days. Fresh cheese, pressed according to old Lithuanian traditions, is often seasoned with coarse salt, chopped garlic or caraway seeds and is considered as an exceptional gift for a foreign guest interested in the country’s culinary heritage. In 2013, the European Commission included fresh cheese into the list of protected products.

Lietuvos Paštas (Lithuanian Post) continues the issue of the series of postage stamps Culinary Heritage. On Saturday, 20 May, a postage stamp representing the country’s traditional cuisine will be issued and it will portray fresh cheese which is particularly appreciated by foreign guests for its exceptional taste and unique production process.
The new postage stamp, 80 thousand copies of which will be issued, has been created by artist Domantas Vildžiūnas. The nominal value of the postage stamp, which is being launched, is equal to EUR 0.52.
“We are delighted that we are able to contribute to the preservation of authentic culinary heritage, the promotion of its popularity and the continuity of traditions. The national heritage is an integral part of the country’s image. Every time that letters and parcels marked with the new postage stamp go on a symbolic culinary journey, they will present the exceptional product of Lithuania to the entire world,” maintains Rasa Kruopaitė-Lalienė, Head of the Corporate Affairs Department of Lietuvos Paštas.
Together with the postage stamp, intended to promote Lithuania’s culinary heritage, the envelope of the first day will also be issued. On Saturday, postal items, which are paid for with the new postage stamp, will be stamped with the stamp with the date of the first day in the General Post Office of Vilnius.
