Lithuania Post released a special stamp celebrating the country’s authentic culinary heritage and promoting the same across the world through letters and parcels. Cheese was produced in Lithuania during the medieval times at manor houses. The production process has remained almost the same till today. Fresh cheese from this part of the world is seasoned with coarse salt, chopped garlic or caraway seeds. The new stamp depicts a caraway plant along with the cheese.

Cheese has been promoted on stamps from Lithuania for the second time in ten years. A 1.70-litas stamp released in 2005 features Cheese and a cow. This stamp was a part of the Europa series with gastronomy as the theme.
