Cârnaţi de Pleşcoi

Cârnaţi de Pleşcoi are popular Romanian sausages made with mutton, chili peppers, and garlic. They are one of the first Romanian products that will be part of the EU’s list of certified traditional products. Cârnaţi de Pleşcoi are produced in the homes of Pleşcoi village and the Berca commune, using the traditional recipe. Most of the producers don’t have an official production license, so the sausages are available for purchase only in small quantities, directly from the producers. Some of the licensed producers founded the Plescoi Sausage Producer Association with a goal of promoting and distributing cârnaţi de Pleşcoi at the European level.
