Our little village is home to one of Romania’s most reknown producers of artisanal cheese: “Manufactura de Brânză”. Cows raised by the Hungarian Varga family graze on the hills surrounding Cund where they feed on grass and wild spices – making the milk they produce fabulous! Inspired by this excellent milk, young cheese-maker Istvan Varga set about making quality cheese, using Swiss methods. We serve this cheese in many varieties – for breakfast as a cheese selection, we use it in our cooking and also offer special cheese platters with delicious acompaning wines.

The PETRY family has a century old tradition as a family butcher and is based in Targu Mures. They operate a variety of outlets selling their meats and especially interesting is their main seat below the citadel, where they also have a small exposition of their family history and historic recipies. We love their well sourced local meats which we use for coolking as well as their selection of cured and processed meats – delicious salamies (honouring their Hungarian roots), cured mangalita Hams and delicious pastrama of local beef, mutton or mangalita!
