Corund ceramic cups
Made by the Varga family in Corund Village, Harghita County. Corund pottery is one of the most popular ceramics in Romania.
The clay is extracted from the Săcădat brook, which runs on the western side of the village. It is ground or kneaded to prevent impurities, until the clay becomes a smooth paste; then it is cut into strips and molded on the potter's wheel. Once molded, the pots are left to dry. Afterwards, the clay pots are immersed in kaolin to obtain the white color, and once again they are dried. Later on, the black ornaments are applied by hand, using a cow horn bugle that has a goose feather on the top, through which the color is dripping. The pots are once again dried and the color painting follows: red made of clay rich in iron oxide, brown and black made of a special clay found after rain, green made of the scum produced by the copper wire burnt in the oven, yellow obtained from...

The pots are once again dried and the color painting follows: red made of clay rich in iron oxide, brown and black made of a special clay found after rain, green made of the scum produced by the copper wire burnt in the oven, yellow obtained from Medgidia clay, and blue - cobalt. Subsequently, the pots are burnt in the oven at over 900 degrees. After the first burning, the pots are glazed, and after the second burning the colors become vivid. Natural color pottery is burnt only once, and the other two times. Burning takes 8 hours, and cooling 18 hours. Ornamental patterns are stylish floral and zoomorphic. The most common motifs are the tulip, the blackcock and the edelweiss.
Wiping with a soft wet cloth or handwashing is recommended.

Fir honey
Produced by the Plăvănescu family in the heart of Moldova, in Bârnova village, Iași County. With a beekeeping tradition of 4 generations, the Plăvănescu family has two apiaries with over 300 bee families. Fir honey has a less sweet taste, with a malt-like aroma, dark color, sometimes to black, and a lower water content than other varieties of bee honey. The spectrum of sugars is clearly different from that of other varieties of honey. Fructose (37%) predominates over glucose (32%), but there are also almost 11% disaccharides and melezitosis. In general, the spectrum of sugars in fir honey is shifted to high molecular weight sugars. Fir honey contains trace elements such as phosphorus, potassium, calcium, sulfur, magnesium, zinc, boron, iron, copper. Fir honey has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, immunostimulating, epithelial, depurative properties, intervening in the amelioration and even cure of bacterial, dermatological, degenerative, inflammatory and immune system diseases.
