Product Information

Stuffed cabbage rolls ( sarmale) with polenta is perhaps the most popular food in Romania and my favorite traditional Romanian dish. Some other other countries in the Balkan territory also claim this as their traditional dish, but that’s not surprising. Stuffed peppers are popular in many countries throughout the Balkans and beyond like Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Croatia, Albania, Georgia, and Armenia. They can be made with any type of vegetable but in Romania, ardei umpluţi refers specifically to bell peppers – mostly yellow, but also red and kapia peppers – stuffed with a filling of ground pork, white rice, herbs, onion, garlic, and spices. If you enjoy Balkan food, then this first Romanian dish will be familiar to you. Ardei umpluţi means “stuffed pepper” in Romanian and refers to the local version of dolma, a popular dish consisting of hollowed-out peppers stuffed with ground meat and rice. White beans are boiled, then mashed with olive oil, lemon juice and garlic. The warm puree is topped with a mix of caramelized onion and stewed tomatoes.

This phenomenal cheese is one of the tastiest foods we tried in Romania. Fresh, unpasteurized sheep cheese curds are cut into tiny pieces, salted and mixed by hand. The mix is then stored in one of two very specific containers. Once filled, the dough is folded over to form a half-circle or other shapes and then baked until golden.

Poale-n brâu is a traditional Romanian pastry, especially popular in the northern regions of the country.Now, don’t let the star of the dish scare you off. Tripe is one of those traditional foods that’s been used by the working class for centuries. And when properly prepared, it has a soft, almost pasta-like, texture, and a subtle flavour. When the count discovered what they had done, he seized the cave and used it to age his cheese. From that point, cheeses aged in that cave became known as Năsal, after the small village where the cave was located in Transylvania.
