  A few years ago Gergely’s nephew also joined the family business and began breeding mangalica pigs and processing meat. (’mangalitsa’ – a Hungarian breed with thick, curly fur, with tasty meat). His younger sister, whose scrumptious donuts were highly praised even by their grandmother, chose to work in catering. Taking advantage on the potential of the family estate and its assets, the Istvándy-model was created to cater for those that look for sophisticated gastronomical delights as well as quality wines
