The Sándor Tamás dairy at Mónosbél says orda goes well with fresh, lively white and rosé wines. Its mild, lightly sweet flakes want freshness rather than weight, which these light to medium-bodied whites and rosés give.
The HÍR collection describes gomolya as fresh, lactic and pleasantly salty. A fresh Egri Csillag or Leányka, or a higher-acid Olaszrizling, keeps pace with it without covering it.
Parenyica is smoked, salty and ham-like, and the HÍR collection calls red wine an excellent companion to it. A Kékfrankos-led Egri Bikavér Superior brings medium body and high acidity to cut the salt and stand up to the smoke.
Address: Tarjáni út 43, Nagyréde, Eger
