About the dish
The protected product name is Lietuviškas skilandis, not every sausage sold as skilandis. Compare the exact label and producer information when buying it; a familiar shape or a market-stall description does not establish certification under the protected name.
Buying and serving
Compare the product name, producer, ingredients and storage instructions on the label. Salt, smoke and a dry exterior do not prove that a homemade product has undergone a validated curing process. This page is an educational guide, not a home-curing recipe.
Where to taste or learn more
Buy labelled skilandis from an identifiable producer or retailer. For the protected speciality, look for Lietuviškas skilandis and its TSG identification; follow the producer’s storage and use-by instructions after opening.
