When we talk about pálinka, thanks to the work of commercial pálinka distilleries, we can now think of a high-quality, real gastronomic speciality. It is one of the outstanding products of our nation and one of our Hungaricums. Márton Nobilis, Minister of State for Food Industry and Trade Policy of the Ministry of Agriculture, said this at the Awards Gala Evening of the National Pálinka Excellence Programme in Budapest.
National Pálinka Excellence Programme
The State Secretary recalled that the Ministry first announced the programme in 2014, Agrárszektor reports. The aim was to make quality Hungarian pálinka known and recognised on the domestic and foreign markets. According to Márton Nobilis, this year’s National Pálinka Excellence Programme was announced in the autumn. 16 pálinka houses entered a total of 103 entries.
He added that the figures also show that despite the pandemic and the difficult economic situation caused by Russia’s war in Ukraine, the programme is becoming increasingly popular among commercial chefs.
