Topoloveni plum magiun is a traditional Romanian product.
The origins of the product go back as far as 1914, when the first magiun factory was established in Topoloveni by a local family. While the plant has been modernized since Sonimpex Topoloveni bought it, the plum jam (magiun) is still made in accordance with traditional methods.
In 2011, the European Commission granted Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status to Topoloveni Magiun.
Furthermore, Topoloveni Magiun was the very first Romanian product to receive PGI status, certification that recognizes the product’s quality and the unique relationship between the region and the product. Topoloveni plum magiun is a functional food, 100% natural, made with just one ingredient: four different types of fresh plums.
In addition to Topoloveni Magiun, Sonimpex also produces many jams and other food products, all of them without added sugar, E’s, preservatives or food additives.
Sonimpex chose to produce only jams with no added sugar and the company holds even an International Patent for its own special jam recipe.
The sugar syrup has been replaced with natural apple juice and, that way, the risks associated with excessive sugar consumption was replaced with the pure joy of a healthy jam.
