I have been using this company for a few years and they have always been reliable. They have a great range of jars from small gift ones to huge “grandmother’s balcony” pickle jars.  I place my orders by email and they deliver.  To have free delivery in Bucharest the minimum order is 500 Ron (approx 100 euros) so its worth clubbing together.  http://www.borcane.ro/ 

I have a thing about goats…or to be more precise and to avoid any misinterpretation….of goat’s milk products. Always have had even as a small kid (no pun really truly intended) I liked goat cheese, yoghurt and milk.  Perhaps it was because I couldn’t digest milk as a baby (I just puked apparently and didn’t grow much in the days before “lactose intolerance” existed) and that’s maybe why I love drinking soya milk…anyhow I still really love goat’s milk products.

Goat milk is closer to human milk than cow milk so is a great help to new mums who cant nurse. Its also great for people who have allergies and conditions like asthma and apparently is better for creating calcium and strengthening bones than cow’s milk.

This little family farm and business produces milk and cheese products seasonally (which is how you know they are force feeding the animals hormones to produce milk every day of the year) down in Giurgiu.  They have a reasonable website and they deliver. The milk is good, the yoghurt great and the Urda so clean tasting it actually lacked that goaty taste I like but others may find a little strong.

In 1960 the Romanian population of Buffalo was bigger than the Italian one…and therein hangs a tale….

Buffalo have long been kept in Transilvania and I love using the milk and yoghurt.  Contrary to popular belief buffalo products are not “fatty”…however the fat molecules are smaller than in cow’s milk and thats what makes the stuff feel more “creamy”.  Delicious and healthy…I need to use the stuff more.

these guys have been pioneering accessible buffalo products for years and the stuff is worth trying
