Boromir Cozonac Walnuts & Cocoa Filling, Romanian Sweet Bread 450g (15.9oz)

Boromir Cozonac with Walnuts & Cocoa Filling is the traditional Romanian holiday sweet bread from Boromir, the Vâlcea-based Romanian bakery and confectionery company — the cozonac (Romanian enriched braided sweet bread) made with the classic walnut-and-cocoa swirl that is the defining filling of the Romanian holiday bread for Easter and Christmas. Boromir was established in Râmnicu Vâlcea in Oltenia, southern Romania, and became one of the most recognized commercial producers of cozonac — the Romanian holiday bread that every Romanian family either bakes at home from a passed-down recipe or buys from the bakery in the days before the great holidays. Cozonac is the bread that defines the Romanian Christmas and Easter table: braided from an enriched egg-and-butter dough, filled with a walnut-cocoa mixture or sweet poppy seed paste, and baked until the kitchen fills with the sweet-yeasty scent that diaspora Romanians describe as the smell of the Romanian holiday — the scent that signals Crăciun (Christmas) and Paști (Easter) more completely than any decoration. Serve sliced alongside coffee or tea at the holiday breakfast, offer to guests as the Romanian Christmas sweet bread, or toast lightly for the next-day cozonac French-toast breakfast that Romanian households make from the holiday leftover.
