Every year, the Lithuanian Confederation of Industrialists (LCI) organises the Lithuanian Product of the Year competition. In 2022, Mantinga’s Žalgirio Sandwich belonging to the Food on Foot brand was awarded a gold medal.

The most popular

The Žalgirio Sandwich with chicken kebab meat, pickles and cheese is the most popular of all Mantinga’s sandwiches in Lithuania.

This is not the first time Žalgirio Sandwich has received this award. In the summer, fans of Žalgiris, one of the most popular basketball teams in Lithuania, voted this sandwich their favourite.

In total, Mantinga offers 75 different types of sandwiches. Most of the sandwiches are sold in Lithuania - around 70% - and the remaining 30% are exported to other countries.

2022 was a record year for sandwich production, with monthly sandwich production in the summer exceeding 2 million units.
