Zarasų Paukštynas Kaimiškas Šakotis

Kaimiškas Šakotis is a traditional Lithuanian 'tree cake' produced by Zarasų Paukštynas, a poultry farm and bakery with roots dating back to 1961. This specific variety, 'Kaimiškas' (meaning 'country-style' or 'rustic'), is known for using fresh eggs directly from the company's own poultry farm in the Zarasai region of Lithuania.

The brand is owned and operated by UAB Zarasų paukštyno produktai, a local Lithuanian company. The production process remains artisanal, involving the layering of batter on a rotating spit over an open heat source to create the characteristic 'branches' or spikes that give the cake its name ('šakotis' translates to 'branched'). It is a staple of Lithuanian festive celebrations, particularly weddings and holidays, and is recognized for its long shelf life and unique aesthetic.
