The country’s best pálinka were chosen
When we talk about pálinka, thanks to the work of commercial pálinka distilleries, we can now think of a high-quality, true gastronomic specialty, which is one of our nation’s outstanding products and one of our hungaricums – stated Márton Nobilis, the State Secretary responsible for the food industry and trade policy of the Ministry of Agriculture, at the National Pálinka Excellence Program Awards Gala in Budapest.
The State Secretary reminded that the ministry first announced the program in 2014, the aim of which was to make quality Hungarian pálinka known and recognized on the domestic and foreign markets. He also emphasized that thanks to the work of the commercial brandy distilleries, the product has now become a high-quality, real gastronomic specialty, which is one of the outstanding products of our nation.
Márton Nobilis said that this year’s National Pálinka Excellence Program was announced in autumn, for which 16 pálinka houses entered with a total of 103 batches. He added that the numbers also show that despite the difficult economic situation caused by the pandemic and then the Russian-Ukrainian war, the program is becoming increasingly popular among commercial breweries. Based on the opinion of the professional jury, 67 batches of 13 Pálinkaház received certification from the products nominated for the 2022 National Pálinka Excellence Program. Of these, 49 batches achieved Pálink excellence and 18 batches achieved TOP Pálinka excellence.
