Wait a minute!What's Buzau???

Buzau is our region (county). Its geographical position provides perfect environment for:

Wineyards (in the lower hills)

Orchards (in the upper hills)

So, one of the most important products from the orchards is TUICA (you can

pronounce TZUICA - the Plum Brandy)

CHARACTERISTICS: Around 28-32 degrees of alcohol Made only by plums (any other option – apples,

pears, apricots etc.- is considered lower quality) Distiled just once (in other regions, they distiled it

two times to get a higher content of alcohol) Kept at least two years in wooden casks (oak,

mulberry tree, acacia)

How it's made?A simple distillation process.
