Easter is over. However, the "festive" food might not be. I know mine is not! :P
Therefore, the first BrandManian I will introduce you to is a major sweetness provider of your Christmas and Easter meals, coffee companion, and not only. Its name is Boromir, and in my not-so-humble opinion, the best cozonac manufacturer in the whole of Romania.
Cozonac is one of the must-eats of Romanian desserts. It's a fluffy loaf cake, with a dough similar to the Italian panettone, but the shape of a bigger loaf of bread. It takes ages to bake at home and also lots of technique, so most of us, especially in cities, buy it. Not all those you find in the supermarkets are good. But Boromir is the cozonac.
Why? It has the right amount of softness, sweetness, buttery texture, and last but not least, creativity. The classic cozonac recipe contains mashed walnuts, raisins, and a little bit of cocoa. But apart from the classic stuff, these guys are experimenting with lots of filling combinations: cream, chocolate cream, chocolate chips, orange zest, Turkish delight, dried fruits and so much more. For all preferences. Whether you come here in the festive season or not, don't leave Romania until you try it!
101 BrandManians is about Romanian brands, in our 101st year as a country. It could have been 101 Brands, 101 Romanians, but it came out something in between. Brands worth knowing, of good quality, of a likeable personality, all made in Romania.
