Hungary’s best szaloncukor revealed
Change language:
Hungary’s traditional Christmas candy comes in many different flavours, coatings, textures, and so on. If you are feeling puzzled about which ones to try this year, the results of the Szaloncukor of the Year competition 2020 are here to give you some ideas.
’Szaloncukor’ is Hungary’s traditional Christmas candy, without which the holiday season cannot be complete. Wrapped in festive paper, it looks like a smaller version of a Christmas cracker. The filling of a szaloncukor can be chocolate, fruit, or nut flavoured cream, jelly, mousse, marzipan, and it is almost always covered in chocolate. The varieties really are endless.
Due to the huge variety of flavours, it can be a struggle to find the perfect one for the holidays, but this year, organisers of the Szaloncukor of the Year competition are providing us with some help.
The organisers of the Szaloncukor of the Year competition invited all Hungarian manufacturers to provide equal opportunity to both bigger and smaller, as well as craft producers. When establishing the categories, they also kept in mind those with food intolerances, those who are on a budget, kids, and those who are looking for the newest tastes, Origo reports.
