Talmacel Pie

The women of Tălmăcel keep alive the “story of pies” and the authentic flavors of the region!

With care and skill, the local women start preparing the dough the night before, letting it rise slowly. When it’s time to bake, they carefully kindle the fire in the hearth and lovingly place the famous Tălmăcel Pie — a delicious specialty made with sheep’s burduf cheese and potatoes — into the flames.

The secret ingredient? A generous sprinkle of love, passed down from mother to grandmother and great-grandmother, without which the pie wouldn’t have its perfect taste. Come and savor a living tradition and enjoy the aromas that tell the story of Tălmăcel!
