Copălău is a commune in Botoșani County, Western Moldavia, Romania.

It included four other villages until 2003, when these were detached to form Coșula commune.

The commune is situated on the Moldavian Plain, on the banks of the river Miletin.

[3] Continuing a tradition that dates back centuries, more than 40% of the locals cultivate the subspecies of Allium sativum; the bulbs are medium-sized and oval, weighing about 45 g (1.6 oz), with only 4 to 5 cloves.

[4] Considered unique due to the soil's quality, the Copălău garlic has gained fame both nationally and internationally; as a result, authorities are preparing to register it as a product with a protected geographical indication.
