The famous Romanian Topoloveni jam joins over 1,000 food and other products protected by the European quality food system. Romania has local traditions with an extraordinary potential and the European recognition of the Topoloveni jam is just one step in the rpomotion and protection of the quality of Romanian products, EC Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development Dacian Ciolos said. He said he congratulates producers for the success and invited other to follow in their footsteps.

The natural Topoloveni jam, of plums is made out of a tradition recipe attested since 1914. The Topoloveni factory produced last year about 200 tons of jam and this year, even though it was modernized and allows for a higher capacity, it produced only 160 tons.
