What to pour with their cheese

Orda with Fresh white and rosé of Eger

Our pick

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.

Gomolya with Egri Csillag, Leányka or Olaszrizling

Our pick

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.

Orda with Late-harvest white

Our pick

The Mónosbél dairy suggests orda with home-made jams and as a dessert filling. A sweet late-harvest white takes the place of the jam, with medium acidity to keep the mild, lightly sweet cheese from tasting flat.
