Award winning D'iugas focuses on lactose levels for International Cheese Show

D’iugas cheese is suitable for people with lactose intolerances, offering them a valuable everyday ingredient and additional source of calcium. This is one of the key messages from D?iugas to visitors at the International Cheese Show, highlighting to retailers that lactose-free products are expected to increase 75% between 2012 and 2016 reaching €529m (£m) by the end of this periodi.

Because of the way D’iugas cheese is made and the maturities at which it is sold (12, 18, 24, 36 months), it qualifies as a lactose-free product. This is great news for the 12% of the UK population who avoid lactose.

D’iugas provides the perfect opportunity for cheese retailers to tap into the lactose free market with a quality product that does not compromise on taste.

As evidence, D’iugas has just received a 3 star rating from the Superior Taste Awards – one of the toughest international judging panels, based in Brussels. This is a second year in a row the Lithuanian cheese has achieved this accolade. D?iugas will be attending the International Cheese Show at Nantwich on 28 July.
