Fruit palinka from the Ier Valley

The Zekulhyda fruit line is orchard palinka in its purest form: apple, pear, plum, apricot, cherry, quince and sour cherry, picked ripe within 30 km of Săcueni, in Bihor county. The fruit is fermented straight after harvest, with no added sugar, flavouring or colouring, then double distilled in small batches so the aroma of the fruit reaches the 350 ml bottle intact.

Each spirit has its own character — from the freshness of apple and the elegance of pear to the intensity of apricot and ripe plum — and several have won medals at Quintessence, Central Europe's largest palinka competition. Order online straight from the distillery, with courier delivery anywhere in Romania.

Frequently asked questions

What is palinka, and how is it different from țuică?
Palinka is a spirit distilled exclusively from fermented fruit, with no added sugar, alcohol or flavouring, and at least 40% ABV. The name is protected in Transylvania and western Romania. Țuică is traditionally made from plums and is usually lower in strength. Zekulhyda palinka is distilled from fruit picked within 30 km of Săcueni, in the Ier Valley.
How should palinka be served?
At 18–20 °C, in a tulip-shaped glass that concentrates the aromas. Do not keep it in the freezer: the cold hides the fruit. Let it rest in the glass for a minute before the first sip, then enjoy it in small sips.
Do the spirits contain sugar, flavouring or colouring?
No. Every Zekulhyda palinka is 100% distilled fruit, with no added sugar, flavouring, colouring or alcohol. The colour of the Barrique spirits comes solely from ageing in wooden casks.
How do I store the bottle, and how long does it keep?
Upright, in a cool place, away from direct light. Palinka does not spoil: a sealed bottle keeps for years, and once opened it holds its aromas for months if the stopper is tight.
