Túró Rudi

Túró Rudi is a popular dairy product in Hungary. It is a bar-shaped sweet, traditionally coated in chocolate, with a filling made from curd cheese (túró).

History

Túró Rudi can be traced back to the 1960s. The product was inspired by a similar Russian sweet, known as сырок (syrok). The name "Túró Rudi" is a combination of the Hungarian words for curd cheese (túró) and Rudolf (Rudi), the latter being a common nickname in Hungary.

Production

The production of Túró Rudi involves the creation of a curd cheese filling, which is then coated in a layer of chocolate. The curd cheese is typically sweetened and may be flavored with ingredients such as vanilla or lemon zest. The chocolate coating is usually dark chocolate, but variations with milk chocolate or white chocolate are also available.

Varieties

There are several varieties of Túró Rudi available, including versions with different flavors of filling (such as strawberry or apricot), different types of chocolate coating, and even versions without any chocolate coating at all. Some versions also include additional ingredients in the filling, such as pieces of fruit or nuts.

Popularity

Túró Rudi is extremely popular in Hungary, where it is a common snack and dessert. It is also exported to other countries, including Slovakia, Romania, and the Czech Republic.
