 Cuisine & gastronomy
Important Cities:
In this county, traditional
 Craiova food is based on meat, onion
 Bailesti and garlic. Some of the local
 Filiasi recipes include Oltenian
sausages, made from finely
 Calafat chopped beef and pork meat
mixed with garlic, pepper and
salt, stuffed into sheep guts
and then smoked. The beef
ragout, the lamb stew with
chives or dried plums, and
meat stew are also among the
region’s specialities.
Due to its closeness to
the Danube, fish dishes also
feature in local cuisine. Try
the carp stuffed with
mushrooms or the fried
Danube mackerel. For
dessert, there’s nothing better
than the traditional sweet
cheese or pumpkin pie.
