A new ethnic market in North Stafford offers a taste of eastern European food, something new to the uninitiated, and comfort to those familiar with the cuisine.

The Moldova European Food Market opened its doors on April 9 and made available its offerings of foods and delicacies from countries such as Romania, Ukraine, Georgia, Bulgaria, Poland, Russia, and others surrounding the Baltic Sea.

Those offerings and delicacies include kielbasa, smoked meats, smoked wild fish, European candy, snacks, and imported frozen cakes as well as dumplings, pierogies, and various spices.

In addition to their new brick-and-mortar location, Moldova offers online ordering that can be sent to anywhere in the United States.

The owners of Moldova, Alexei and Corina Dorgan, came to the U.S. in 2010 and opened the store to provide those with a taste of something that some people may have experienced on their travels in the past or to have a taste of home.

"We opened the store for Military families who served in Europe and would like to find some specialty groceries and meats", says Alexei Dorgan. "Also for Polish, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, Romanian, Czech, Armenian, Georgian, Uzbekistan, and Serbian families.

The Moldova European Food Market is located at Aquia Park, 2773 Richmond Highway in North Stafford. Its hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.,  and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
