Introduction to Telemea Cheese

Few know that the famous telemea cheese is a traditional and specific product from the Mărginimea Sibiului region. There is no peasant whose threshold you cross who won't offer you a telemea unlike any you've tasted elsewhere.

Production Process

Made by curdling milk, telemea is initially consumed unsalted and then left in a brine that gives it the distinctive flavor characteristic of this type of cheese.

Storage Methods

The peasants from Mărginime usually keep it in wooden tubs made of fir or pine, claiming that this way the cheese lasts longer and the taste is truly unique.
