The event is organized twice a year, having a specific theme every time. Last weekend cheese and all the pastry goods were in focus. Not only because they’re delicious, but also to draw attention to the fact that Hungarian people consume less than the European average. During those two days, you could easily make up for your part of this bad situation: everyone – even those without a ticket – had the opportunity to have a bite of the 300-kilogram block of cheese in the lobby of Hall „B” of Millenáris Centre – it’s not surprising that nothing was left of this delicacy.

And not only the record-breaking cheese, but probably most of the products of the exhibitors – 30 cheese masters and 120 other small producers – were gone by the end of the fair, too. The 12 thousand visitors had the opportunity to taste leavened white bread, or „zsendice” (a special type of cheese), but chocolate-cherry mascarpone ice cream (no sugar added) and the famous Hungarian túrórudi were on the „menu” as well.

We tried a crafted delicacy that is black on the outside, white inside and produced the most unique way we’ve ever heard: they shape the camambert and scatter the pieces with coal dust. After having a few sips of some of the best wines of the country, we learned about the special ingredients of the sauce called "Fire" (wines of Villány and habanero chili pepper), and we tasted beetroot jam with truffles. So we left a little tipsy, but with a full stomach and plenty of new experiences.
