Convivium Transilvania, in the village of Criț (“Deutschkreutz”), 25km from Sighisoara, is a transilvanian culinary academy. By providing access to the European culinary tradition they offer solutions for adapting traditional cuisine to today’s living standards. They support baking at home and offer classes.
One of the oldest parts of their estate is the baking oven, one of the largest in the village. The oven can take up to 12 loafs of 3kg. One of the traditions of the village was to cover the loafs with leafs of cabbage to give them shape and a special taste.
The movie “Traditional baking house in Transilvania” (Pâine de casă tradițională din Ardeal) was made with support of the Convivium Transilvania.
