Hajdú parenica cheese wins Product of the Year 2017

In early 2015 Kőröstej’s Hajdú parenica product range renewed in both packaging and content. The 190g parenica got a new look and an XL size, and a 105g mini version was also launched. A milder taste and a softer texture characterise the product. As for its history, parenica is said to have come from the Balkans and was formerly made from sheep milk.

Kőröstej is very proud of the fact that they have managed to preserve the artisan character and quality of the product – the beechwood-smoked, cow’s milk cheese gets its final shape with manual work, so no two parenicas are the same! Germany and Sweden are major importers of the product and Hajdú parenica was also very successful at the 2016 Hong Kong Food Expo. In Hungary the product became Product of the Year 2017 in the parenica category. (x)
