If you’ve ever gone down a rabbit hole trying to track down a jar of Romanian pickles or a decent cozonac in some corner of London (or wherever you are in the UK), you’re not alone. But we have good news: you don’t have to do that anymore.
There’s now one place where you can fill your virtual basket with all the good stuff from home. And you can do that easily, reliably, and without hopping between five different stores. Keep reading to find out what we’re talking about!
Why is there such a high demand for Romanian products in the UK?
With over 550,000 people born in Romania now living in the UK, it’s no surprise that the need for familiar flavours is stronger than ever. When you’re far from home, food becomes more than just nourishment. It becomes memory, comfort, and identity.
A jar of zacuscă or a pack of pufuleți can take you back to your childhood kitchen or your grandma’s pantry. These are more than snacks, they’re edible pieces of home. And when the craving hits, it feels pretty great to find those products nearby, right?
Bestselling Products at AS Market
Let’s be honest, when you think of Romanian snacks, pufuleții Gusto are probably the first to pop into your head. And you’re not alone. They’re one of our all-time bestsellers, right next to Eugenia cream filled biscuits, Viva chips and Viva crunchy cereals.
But it’s not just about the snacks. Romanians in the UK are passionate about their food. Mititei (juicy grilled skinless sausages), mușchi țigănesc (smoky, spiced pork loin), șorici (crispy pork rind), and kaizer (cured, seasoned pork belly) are among the most-loved products in the meat category. Add to that a little strong Romanian sheep’s cheese, a classic smooth plant-based pâté with a savoury taste, and you’re already halfway to recreating a real Romanian feast.
And let’s not forget the staple foods. Our customers love sauerkraut, and not just for the taste, but because it means one thing: sarmale (cabbage rolls stuffed with seasoned minced meat and rice, slowly simmered for hours). Add some Tecuci mustard for the grilled meats, a slice of Măgura cake for dessert, and maybe a pack of Bake Rolls (crunchy baked bread chips) for later.
All these Romanian favourites (and plenty more, even traditional Romanian clothing) are just a few clicks away. That means no suitcase packing, no airport lines, no begging friends to bring them over.
