Palinca is a traditional type of brandy that is produced in Hungary and Transylvania (region of Romania, where it is spelled palincă). The origin of the word is Slavic stemming from the word páliť (in Slovak) which means to distill.
It is usually made from plums, apples, pears, apricots, or cherries and is double distilled. The alcohol content is between 60 and 80%. A less strong version (around 40% alcohol) is called ţuică in Romania.
