A family-owned company from Maramures, Romania, turns a local tradition into an international delight.
For over 30 years, Pufulete has been crafting puffed corn snacks that embody the warmth of Romanian tradition and the purity of natural ingredients. What began as a family initiative in Maramures has grown into a brand enjoyed by families across generations and borders.
At the core of Pufulete’s offering are its two beloved brands:
Nicoole Corn Puffs – the original recipe, light, airy, and slightly salty, cherished by generations and instantly recognizable by the image of the little girl on the bike. Nicoole Corn Puffs are loved by children and adults alike.
Alongside them, P’UFO Corn Puffs – a bold, extra-crispy twist designed for modern snackers who crave texture and innovation.
Both product lines reflect the company’s unwavering commitment to quality:
✅ 100% natural ingredients
✅ Gluten-free and vegan-friendly (classic salted varieties)
✅ No palm oil
✅ No artificial colors or preservatives
“Corn puffs are more than just a snack in Romania – they are part of our culture and childhood memories. At Pufulete, we are proud to share this authentic taste with the world,” says Axente Medan, Founder of the company.
As part of the Romanian Pavilion at ANUGA 2025, Pufulete invites visitors to experience the soul of Romanian snacking. Discover how a simple puffed corn snack can carry decades of tradition, family values, and unforgettable taste — all in one bite.
