Dairy & cheese

Specialist cheese

Traditional Romanian sheep and cow cheeses from farm and small-dairy origin — the varieties diaspora wholesalers already sell and specialist affineurs are looking for.

Varieties

Telemea

White brined cheese, sheep or cow milk. Firm, salty, clean lactic finish. Vacuum blocks or brine-packed tubs, 0.4–8 kg.

Cașcaval

Semi-hard pasta-filata style, sheep or cow. Elastic, mild-nutty, melts well. Wheels 0.5–7 kg or sliced retail packs.

Brânză de burduf

Matured sheep cheese, kneaded and packed traditionally in pine bark or sheep-skin casing. Sharp, aromatic, high value; a strong affineur listing.

Urdă

Fresh whey cheese, close to ricotta. Delicate and sweet, short shelf life — best on shorter EU lanes or frozen.

Caș

Fresh unripened curd cheese, mild and milky. The base cheese for burduf and a foodservice staple.

Farm origin

These cheeses come from mountain and hill dairies working with their own or neighbouring flocks, in many cases still following transhumance grazing. That is the story your customer buys — and it is also why volume is finite and seasonal. We vet the dairy, confirm establishment approval for the destination lane, and are honest about what a given dairy can hold to month after month.

Wider dairy

Butter & cream
Sweet-cream butter in blocks or retail packs, and smântână to agreed fat content.
Fresh dairy
Drinking milk, kefir and sana from dairies with current EU approval.
Milk powder & whey
Skimmed and whole milk powder, plus whey powder for processing buyers.
Sheep & goat milk
Raw and pasteurised sheep and goat milk for processors, seasonal and volume-limited.

  • Vacuum blocks, brine tubs, whole wheels, and retail-ready packs where the dairy is set up for it.

  • Chilled transport with temperature recording; frozen programmes for urdă and caș where transit time requires it.
  • Samples can be sent before commitment for listing and affinage assessment.
  • Private-label and own-brand packing considered where the dairy's approval allows.
