Made by the nuns of Holy Theophany Monastery, these goods are sure to please as gifts or to keep on hand for your own home. These products include a variety of creamed and regular honey, hand cream, lip balm and the popular Tort de Fructe Romanesc.

Many people find the hand cream to soothe their chaffed hands like no other product. Made with a balance of Beeswax, Coconut and Almond Oil, Aloe Vera, and Vitamin E, this hand cream renews, restores and indeed rescues dry, chapped or callused skin. It works well to maintain healthy skin and for any scrapes or papercuts. The Hand Cream is available as Fragrance Free, Lavender or Evergreen (scented with essential oils). With a tweak to the same recipe, try it as a lip balm; Lavender, Honey Vanilla, Peppermint, or Fragrance Free. It will leave you smiling.
The Tort de Fructe Romanesc is a delicious gourment dessert, made of nuts, dried fruits, honey, applesauce, gluten-free flour, a touch of sugar and lots of spices (serves 4-6 generously). This dense and rich round cake packs a punch of flavor with each bite. When the centurions and soldiers of the Roman and Byzantine Empire were sent out to protect their borders, they brought with them this tort in their traveling rations. Settling in present day Romania, they brough also their Latin lnaguage, foods, customs and a way-of-life that continue to enrich Romania to this day.
