Back home: Romanian returns from Italy to taste success with his own artisan salami business

After cultivating a taste for specialty meats during the years spent in Italy, Alin Macsim returned to Romania to start his own business. He currently produces and sells artisan salami under the brand Gustarea Regelui (which would translate as The King's Snack) in Timisoara and plans to add more tasty goodies to the offer, all crafted using traditional techniques.

Alin Macsim is a 36-year-old foodie who has grown a taste for specialty meats during the years spent studying and working in Italy. Born in Timisoara, the largest city in western Romania, he left the country after high school to continue his studies abroad. That's how he started a new life with many challenges but also equally many achievements, both personally and professionally.
