Report made by TVR 1 within the show Viața Satului

Honest Romanian products 🇷🇴
For 10 years, together with the housewives from the village, headed by Aunt Veronica, we have been preparing goodies in a cauldron on a wood fire according to traditional recipes and artisan chocolate bean to bar.

Food for the soul made in Transylvania
We only use quality and natural ingredients that we carefully select and prepare by hand with passion, in peace.

Our House: Idicel Village
Idicel is a mountain village, far away, and you have to reach the hills to actually feel, a wave of joy that hits you when you get here - from the hay, from the vegetation, from the fruit trees, from the forests , flocks, animals, and the absolutely gorgeous sunset.

Răzvan Rusu, founder
"We are a family business that started out of passion with the desire to make honest Romanian products with a unique taste. The wood fire and cauldron remain and will be the centerpiece of the kitchen. It is our way of preparing the products and we care a lot about this."

Manually made
The village housewives, led by Aunty Veronica, contribute with dedication, passion and humility so that every product made by us at Idicel has an authentic taste.

Sausage and Eggplant Salad
Remember the aroma of freshly roasted peppers from your childhood. At Idicel, we roast the capsicums on the grill, clean them by hand and put them in the cauldron over a wood fire so that the flavors remain alive in the jar that will reach you.

Chocolate and Hazelnut Cream
Made from quality ingredients, with refined cocoa beans straight from the source and following an artisan process, made by hand, our bean to bar chocolate gives you a moment of joy every time.

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.
Corporate gifts
We specialized in corporate gifting and annually deliver thousands of boxes for the employees of top companies in Romania.

Interview with Andreea Esca
When I started making jam over a wood fire in Satul Idicel I didn't know I would get this far but I knew that every challenge comes with a purpose.
