Hungarian Dobos Cake became an official Hungarikum!
Change language:
The delicious and iconic Hungarian Dobos Cake was introduced to the public 134 years ago by József Dobos, a confectioner. Dobos’s aim was to create a cake that could be stored for a long time (and so even be transported) as, at the time, no proper technique existed to keep food and sweets cold.
Világgazdaság reported that this delicious Hungarian cake finally became an official Hungarikum. What is Hungarikum? Hungarikum is a collective term indicating a value worthy of distinction and highlighting within a unified system of qualification, classification, and registry, and which represents the high performance of Hungarian people thanks to its typically Hungarian attribute, uniqueness, speciality, and quality.
István Nagy, the agrarian minister, emphasised at the meeting of the Collection of Hungarikum that preserving and valuing our cultural and national treasures becomes more and more important these days.
