Wine and cheese

All Eger pairings
Orda 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. Fresh white and rosé of Eger, Eger: Egri Csillag · Egri Csillag · St Andrea Napbor
Gomolya 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. Egri Csillag, Leányka or Olaszrizling, Eger: Egri Csillag · Egri Csillag · St Andrea Napbor
Parenyica Our pick Smoked, salty parenyica has more weight than a fresh cheese, so it takes a medium-bodied white. The Leányka, Hárslevelű and Olaszrizling blend of a Superior or Grand Superior Egri Csillag has medium acidity and a medium finish to match. Egri Csillag Superior and Grand Superior, Eger: St Andrea Boldogsagos · Egri Csillag Grand Superior Pajados-dulo · Egri Csillag Superior
