Traditionally, peasant families used to make p\u00e1linka in order to capture the annual fruit crops in bottles. As time has passed and the distilling industry started to develop, p\u00e1linka became popular among higher social classes too. Today it is considered as a noble spirit which wows even those with the most sophisticated taste.<\/p>\n<p>These drinks are made of the most versatile range of fruits. For decades, apricot was the most popular one, but nowadays plum, pear, sour cherry, quince, and raspberry are also admired by many.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-327674\" src=\"https:\/\/funzine.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/food_V5I0221.jpg-m\u00e1solata-e1548670258833.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Strict rules guarantee the highest quality. P\u00e1linka must be made of fruits harvested, matured, distilled, and bottled in Hungary. The alcohol content must be at least 37.5%, while the average volume is usually between 45 and 60 degrees. One very important thing is: quality p\u00e1linka is made solely of fruit and refined water, no additives.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly to Cognac, Champagne and Calvados, p\u00e1linka (traditional in Central Europe with origins from the Carpathian Basin) is under the protected geographical indication of the European Union. Only 9 Hungarian regions own the right to sell their p\u00e1linka under the special trademark.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-327675\" src=\"https:\/\/funzine.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/shop_V5I0190.jpg-m\u00e1solata-e1548670289289.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t drink it as a shot, instead, wait until the smells unfold, and take time to enjoy the fruity fragrance.
