The finest meat from the traditional Keller butcher shop in Langenbach and Moosburg – Munich, as everyone knows, has a lot to offer, and you don't necessarily have to leave the city limits for culinary delights. However, my recent visit to the Keller butcher shop in Langenbach, a true culinary experience, demonstrates that exploring the surrounding area is always worthwhile.

Keller Butcher Shop in Langenbach
Founded in 1908 by Josef and Anna Keller, the Keller butcher shop has always been a family-run business and, 110 years later, boasts two shops and its own production facilities. "I always wanted to be a butcher. No other profession was ever an option for me. Even as a child, I was completely dedicated to the craft and accompanied my father at work," says Augustin Keller, master butcher, business administrator (Chamber of Skilled Crafts), meat sommelier, sausage and ham sommelier, and fourth-generation "boss of the house." To this day, the butcher shop stands for the highest level of expertise, top-quality meat and sausage products, and that certain something.

Meat wasn't something you just ate every day back then. It was special, prized, and truly valuable. Times don't always change for the better; everything becomes faster-paced, bigger, quicker, and more abundant. Often, quality and the focus on what's essential suffer as a result. Are you still looking for REAL quality? Then a visit to Keller's butcher shop is exactly what you need, because all processing methods are carried out according to the philosophy that "quality is our top priority." "Those who understand this, live by it, and truly taste it, are happy and conscious to pay a little more. Our long-standing regular customers appreciate that," says Augustin Keller. In my opinion, the price for good meat must be fair and transparent. Then you can enjoy it more without regret and with the feeling that you've chosen "the better.".

All cattle and pigs are sourced from the Keller butcher shop in Bavaria and southern Germany. They are raised according to species-appropriate and traditional farming methods.like here, for exampleThese factors play just as important a role as respectful animal husbandry and humane slaughter. Anyone who wants to do their part in enjoying meat and supporting the preservation of regional, inspected, and family-run farms can do so in the future by consciously purchasing (and high-quality) meat from the Keller butcher shop in Langenbach, even if it means traveling a bit further from Munich and the usual routes.

Personally, I prefer to eat meat where I know its origin and how it was processed. Keller's butcher shop makes no secret of this and transparently demonstrates its methods and the source of its meat. In this case, it comes exclusively from small and medium-sized farms that place the highest value on the proper treatment of the animals, including the slaughtering process. So, if you're looking for genuine quality meat and sausage with a local connection, this is the place for you – as evidenced by the high percentage of regular customers at Keller's butcher shop.

Keller Butcher Shop: Offers and Events

Even before glancing at the counter, it's clear that Keller GmbH in Langenbach isn't "just" a butcher shop; it's more like stepping into a unique little world and embarking on an exciting culinary journey of discovery. And when you do look at the counter, you don't need to be a butcher to appreciate the variety and high quality of the products. From the finest Staufen and Stauferico pork, to the most prized cuts and steaks from Staufen beef, or the delicious cooked and cured ham, to seasonal products such as the high-quality... Valluga SPeck, which is produced using sophisticated processes and under special ripening conditions, offers something for absolutely every meat and sausage fan behind the meter-long counter.
Looking around, the glass-walled dry-aging room immediately catches the eye. Here, the premium beef—meat from local Fleckvieh heifers with their distinctive marbling—matures at 1 degree Celsius. The meat matures for four to six weeks in the Langenbach dry-aging room, personally overseen by meat sommelier and master butcher Augustin Keller. "Dry-aging," he explains, "is both a traditional maturation process and an age-old craft." Dry-aging—the hanging of high-quality meat on the bone for a specific period at controlled temperature and humidity—is considered the oldest method of meat maturation. The result: robust, aromatic meat with a weight loss of up to 401 tbsp. from the beginning to the end of the drying process. You can learn more about this and many other highlights on-site if you have any questions during your purchase.

Turning away from the counter and glancing at the shelves of Langenbach's butcher shop and gourmet food store, you'll discover high-quality, select wines, (inter)national cheese specialties – for example, from the Tegernsee natural cheese dairy – as well as a well-stocked delicatessen selection, from salami and vitello tonnato to pasta, fine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and air-dried ham. The selection of diverse, homemade antipasti is also impressive and tempting.

The invitation to sit down and enjoy breakfast on-site is another highlight. Every day from 7:30 am for three hours, a delicious selection is offered, promising the perfect start to the day for true breakfast lovers. From hand-cut fruit, high-quality cheese, and delicious scrambled eggs to fresh and crusty rolls from the bakery and – of course – the finest ham varieties, bacon, and salami, there's something for everyone. Dinzler coffee or organic house iced tea, blended by BIOTEAQUE, will be served. Those who can only make it around lunchtime, or who fancy a good lunch, will also find what they're looking for at Keller's butcher shop. Since it doesn't always have to be a steak on the grill or a sausage in a roll, trained chefs create two delicious lunch dishes daily – one of which is always vegetarian. For example, pasta is served on Mondays, and on Thursdays, a freshly prepared burger is on offer, which is well-known far beyond the borders of Langenbach. There's nothing wrong with a cup of coffee and a slice of cake or the homemade chocolate muffin. Whether you were originally there for the juicy steak, the homemade white sausages, or to stock up for your next barbecue, a slice of cake is always welcome, isn't it?

Keller Butcher Shop: A wide variety of (cooking) courses and events

Another major aspect of Keller's business is the events held in Langenbach. I'll tell you more about these in a future article. But first, a quick heads-up: Their in-house cooking school regularly hosts interesting and exciting seminars. Imagine Augustin Keller himself, his chefs, or even external speakers, Michelin-starred chefs (like Wolfgang Müller), and leading figures from the culinary and BBQ scene (like Stefan Marquard and Ludwig Maurer) leading a variety of events in small groups, surprising participants with fantastic culinary highlights. Sometimes the focus is on roasting, sometimes on production and tours, sometimes on the ladies behind the grill, or even on making perfect Weisswurst. It's a fascinating and diverse range of topics.

Why it's worth visiting the Keller butcher shop

The Keller butcher shop and culinary experience center in Langenbach, which opened in December 2016, is about more than just selling meat. It's about conveying enjoyment and a zest for life through high quality, keeping up with the times and current trends, and making shopping a more pleasant and memorable experience. It's not about simply buying a piece of meat or a sausage – anyone can do that. The goal is to understand that it's no longer enough to just "feed hungry people," but rather to rekindle and rediscover an interest in meat and sausage. This can be experienced firsthand through your own shopping experience and the expert advice and knowledgeable staff behind the counter.

I appreciate that you don't just feel like you're "at the butcher's" here, but rather that a door opens to a new world – even if you're not an expert. The option to have breakfast, lunch, coffee, etc., is an added bonus, as they exclusively offer high-quality products. The courses also showcase the diversity and the conscious "different" and "rethinking" approach of Keller's butcher shop. So, if you, like me, love good food, enjoy treating yourself to something special, and prefer to combine it with tradition, then a (meat/sausage) shopping trip to Keller's butcher shop in Langenbach – a skillful combination of delicatessen and traditional butcher shop – will certainly be a shopping experience with a welcome change from the usual butcher shop visit.
