Adrian Cocan is co-founder of Laptaria cu Caimac (Creamy Dairy), an artisanal Romanian dairy specializing in top-of-the-line products and one of the first to join Carrefour's “Poftim, branza romaneasca!” (Here / We Crave Romanian Cheese) national program.

Interview highlights:
- What to look for when trying to choose a fine cheese from the shelves;
- Romania had a lot of diversity in cheeses, but it was lost, we need to revive old recipes;
- Romanian wines are just as good as French wines, but lack a history track and exposure;
- Just like in the case of wine, understanding and using local terroir is critical in the process of making a fine cheese;

The Wines of Romania podcast is inspired by the Deschidem Vinul Romanesc / We Open the Romanian Wine program, a national program developed by Carrefour Romania, dedicated equally to consumers and wine producers in Romania.
