Wood-fired jam

The sweet is the first product prepared by us at Idicel, together with Aunt Veronica. We picked all the fruits in the area and started boiling them in the kettle in the yard. This is how Răzvan Idicel was born. At the mouth of the cauldron on a wood fire, to a good word and dreams for the future.
