About DE COLTESTI SRL
De Colțești is a Romanian artisanal cheese brand rooted in the Trascău Mountains, where tradition, landscape, and time shape every product. The brand originates from a family-owned dairy established in the mid-1990s, in a region known for its rich pastures, clean air, and deep connection to traditional food craftsmanship.
Built on the belief that good cheese cannot be rushed, De Colțești produces a wide range of fresh, matured, and extra-matured cheeses using locally sourced milk from nearby farms. Each product reflects a slow, carefully controlled process in which milk quality, manual work, and patience play a central role. The result is cheese with depth, balance, and a strong sense of place.
The portfolio includes traditional Romanian cheeses such as kneaded cheese (brânză frământată), burduf cheese, smoked and aged varieties, as well as specialty cheeses inspired by European styles and enriched with natural ingredients such as herbs, spices, nuts, truffles, or chili. From mild and creamy to intensely matured, each cheese is crafted to preserve the natural character of the milk and the authenticity of the recipe.
De Colțești has gained international recognition for its craftsmanship, with its kneaded cheese ranked among the Top 100 cheeses in the world by TasteAtlas. This recognition reflects not only product quality, but also a philosophy built on honesty, consistency, and respect for tradition rather than trends.
Modern technology supports, but never replaces, craftsmanship. The dairy operates with contemporary equipment, strict quality standards, and continuous investment in production and storage facilities, while maintaining the essence of traditional cheesemaking. Sustainability, respect for nature, and long-term responsibility toward local communities are core values of the brand.
More than a producer of cheese, De Colțești represents a way of relating to food—one that values time, attention, and presence. Its products invite consumers to slow down, taste consciously, and reconnect with authentic flavors shaped by place, people, and patience.
