The National Pálinka Excellences Program to continue

The National Pálinka Excellences Program steadily continues this year. The basic objective of the program is the continuous improvement of the quality of the Hungarian Pálinka as a Hungaricum and to increase its awareness further – Fazekas Sándor Minister of Agriculture said on Monday in Budapest, at the award ceremony of the 2nd Pálinka National Tastings held at the Houses of Parliament.

Fazekas Sándor told that all conditions are favourable for Hungary to prepare high-quality pálinkas. Hungary has unique quality raw materials – a wide variety of luscious Carpathian Basin fruits – and the cooking skills of the masters as well. The high-quality Hungarian pálinka is now becoming more widely known, not only at home but also abroad. (MTI)
