National Pálinkas of Excellence Program

The family business was launched in 1983 as private distillery. Meeting the requirements of the surrounding garden owners it provided rental distillation. The current owner took over in 1997 keeping the same profile. After several years of preparation in the middle of 2009 they obtained the license of commercial distillation and at the end of the year they produced from 12 different fruits, 5 different bottles, within two different alcohol volumes. In 2009 they opened a pálinka house in the centre of the town Gyula providing the products of 50 Hungarian distilleries and 16 wineries.

The Kövér Distillery opened its doors in the summer of 2019, located in the outskirts of Szomolya, near Noszvaj. When designing the facility and selecting the equipment, great emphasis was placed on combining tradition with modern technology and ensuring versatility. At the heart of the distillery is an Ulrich Kothe system, featuring a 400-liter copper still, a three-plate concentrating column, and a 150-liter rectifier. This technology enables both pot still and single-stage (aroma tower) distillation processes.

The distillery offers a unique, comprehensive service for private individuals to produce pálinka and has also begun developing its own branded products. The creation of its pálinkas and spirits is overseen by a highly skilled master distiller, renowned for their expertise and years of experience. The facility is equipped with everything necessary to ensure that the Kövér name stands as a guarantee of quality.

The Kunság-Szesz cPlc. has been operating for 20 years as a family business; their main activity is the production of spirits through cold technique. Their excellent pálinkas are produced in the 2013 opened pálinka distillery, which is one of the biggest computer guided facilities of the country. The here made pálinkas are distributed under the brand name, Mátyás. All members of the Mátyás brand are elegant and clean, the fresh fruit is very much recognizable on the nose, as well as on the palate, that adds to the unforgettable experience to the consumer.
