Iuga Maria is a farmer, natural person, owns a herd of 52 cows from which she collects raw milk. She processes the milk in a Milk Processing Centre located at her home address - Sat Tilișca, Nr. 244, Comuna Tilișca, County Sibiu, obtaining the following products:

Cow curd

It is produced from cow's milk and consists of: straining the milk, pouring it into a vat followed by heating, adding the rennet (natural lamb rennet). After the milk has been strained, the curds are separated from the whey using a sieve or a gauze cloth (sedline). The curds must be thoroughly squeezed. After draining off the whey, a wheel about 50-60 cm in diameter and 12-14 cm thick is obtained. The quantity of curds produced in two to three days is stored in parallelepiped-shaped boxes in a darkened room. Up to 6-7 wheels of curds fit into a box. It is sold loose or packaged.

Cow's cheese

It is obtained by soaking cow's milk curd in water at a temperature of about 80°C, after maturing it beforehand. The resulting paste is processed and put into moulds to obtain raw cheese. The rind or surface is smooth, clean, without wrinkles or hollows, without spots or cracks, yellowish-white in colour.

Fresh cow's milk

Fresh cottage cheese is a semi-hard cheese made entirely from freshly milked, unpasteurised raw cow's milk, by enzymatic coagulation with rennet and processing according to a traditional method.

Matured cow's milk

Matured telemea cheese is a semi-hard cheese made entirely from freshly milked, unpasteurised raw cow's milk by enzymatic coagulation with rennet and processing according to a traditional method. When the whey has drained off, the cheese is removed from the skins and cut into large cubes. The cheese is salted in brine for 20-24 hours, during which time the pieces of cheese are turned 2-3 times, with granular salt sprinkled on the free surface of each piece. The pieces of cheese removed from the brine are left to drain on the crust for 15-20 minutes, after which the dry salting is carried out.

Fresh telemea cheese and ripened telemea cheese produced by the farmer Iuga Maria are two varieties which, by Decision No 135 / 02.03.2020 of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, were granted the right to use the optional quality mention 'mountain product', the products being registered in the National Register of Mountain Products under No 503.
