Compote
When life gives us fruit, we make compote – the Moldovan way. Instead of cola and sprite, we drink compote
When life gives us fruit, we make compote — the Moldovan way. This sweet drink, made by boiling seasonal fruits with sugar or honey, is a refreshing alternative to soda and a cherished part of local tradition.
Each family has its own recipe, often adding spices like cinnamon or cloves. Stored in cool cellars, compote keeps the taste of summer alive all year.
Made with local fruits — apples, cherries, plums, and more — compote is enjoyed both as a drink and as a treat, with the preserved fruit eaten by the spoonful or used in desserts
