Brânză is a traditional Romanian cheese made from sheep, cow, or goat milk. It is known for its crumbly texture and tangy flavor, often used in various dishes or enjoyed on its own. Brânză can be found in different varieties, including fresh, aged, and smoked, each offering a unique taste experience. This cheese is a staple in Romanian cuisine, commonly served with mămăligă (cornmeal porridge) or used in pastries like cozonac. Brânză is also popular in neighboring countries, where similar cheeses are made, reflecting the region's rich dairy farming heritage.
