Buttermilk and Milk from Romfulda
Yesterday I had an idea - you tell me if it's good or not - to create a section with my favorite products (store-bought!), the ones that never leave my weekly shopping cart. I would obviously love to hear from you which products you prefer and why. That way we all learn more and faster. Anyway, I already have the strange habit of looking into other people's shopping carts - it seems like the simplest and quickest way to find out what new products have appeared without constantly taking inventory of all the store shelves.
And since I talked yesterday about how to make cheese from buttermilk, first on my list are dairy products from Romfulda, a smaller producer from Bistrita county (Beclean). I haven't seen their products in larger stores, only at Profi - they usually sell at small neighborhood shops or in stores specialized in dairy products.
- My favorite by far is their buttermilk in a plastic bottle - you'll find it in my refrigerator at any time. You can see and feel the curds of set milk in it, like in the old days. It's thick - you have to shake the bottle well for it to flow out. It has good taste and acidity. It's very similar to the buttermilk of the past, the one sold in those small wide-neck glass bottles.
- Then there's their cultured buttermilk and their (sweet) milk. I had already gotten used to store-bought milk having no taste, and I was shocked when I first drank Romfulda milk - it seemed like it actually came from a cow 😋
