Pálinka
Palinka (Hungarian: pálinka; Romanian: palincă) is a traditional type of brandy that is produced in Hungary and also in the Transylvanian regions of Romania.
It is usually made out plums, apples, pears or apricots and is double distilled. The contents of alcohol are between 50 and 65-70%.
In 2004, Hungary (along with 4 counties of Austria) received the exclusive right for the name "pálinka" as a trademark from the European Union, given to beverages distilled cleanly from fruits.
