Secretul unei brânze românești vechi de secole: este păstrată în vezică de porc și tocmai a fost recunoscută în UE

A traditional cheese from Bistrița-Năsăud, known as "Brânza frământată de Teaca," has been officially registered by the European Commission as a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI). This cheese is made from raw cow's milk and is uniquely packed in pig bladders. The European Commission's decision recognizes the specific production methods and cultural heritage associated with this cheese, which has been made in the region for generations. Its distinct characteristics are tied to local expertise and traditional practices, ensuring that it cannot be replicated outside its geographical context. The cheese is sold in natural casings and can also be sliced for sale.
