(Pre-)Christmas indulgence with Schlemmermeyer delicacies || The days are getting shorter, in just a few weeks the approaching winter will replace the colorful autumn, and the beloved pre-Christmas and Advent season is drawing ever closer. In these challenging times for all of us in different ways, I believe it is all the more important to consciously create space for enjoyment and to experience personal time despite the hustle and bustle and everyday stress. to fill with beautiful highlights.
The upcoming Christmas season offers a wealth of possibilities. Quality remains my top priority. One of my favorite places to find high-quality, varied, and regional delicacies is and always will be Schlemmermeyer Delikatessen. Firstly, because this gourmet food company, with locations throughout Germany, offers a very extensive and diverse selection of (pre-)Christmas products in its stores, and secondly, because Schlemmermeyer's motto, "Joyful Christmas – Enjoying Together," perfectly embodies this: high-quality enjoyment, a break from everyday life through personal moments of indulgence, and the conscious decision to prioritize top quality in one's own kitchen.
Numerous different types of cheese await you. Here is the very special "A 1652 Bunker Cheese".
Discover (pre-)Christmas highlights at Schlemmermeyer
Schlemmermeyer's selection is a true highlight all year round. Anyone who has experienced the quality of this delicatessen will inevitably return. No matter what you're craving or how you prefer to spend your (pre-)Christmas season from a culinary perspective – Schlemmermeyer won't let you down. You can choose from a wide variety of ham, cheese, and sausage specialties; enjoy delicious gourmet salads, antipasti, and gratins, as well as products specially selected for Christmas.
You can also find a wide variety of antipasti, salads, and other items at this delicatessen supplier.
The product range is virtually limitless, and I would like to recommend specific products to you. For example, the... „"Air-dried Oldenburg cured ham"“ With a mild, spicy flavor, air-dried according to Oldenburg tradition, it tastes particularly good in wafer-thin slices. Also the so-called „"Traditional ham"“ With its slightly salty and juicy flavor, it's particularly well-suited for charcuterie and antipasti platters. (Also keep this ham in mind if you're planning gratins, casseroles, or savory stuffed dishes.)
A good one Selection of different cheeses Of course, it shouldn't be missing either. Be sure to ask about the „"Parmesan SB matured for 40 months"“. Due to its particularly long maturation, Parmesan develops a uniquely spicy and aromatic flavor. Alternatively, there is also a 24-month aged Parmesan, which „"Parmesan SB matured for 24 months"“, Parmesan, which is the 'classic' among Italian cheeses. It impresses with its wonderful maturity and a beautifully spicy and fruity-mineral aroma. Besides high-quality Parmesan, you should also try... „Premium Truffle Cream Cheese“ Try it, which offers a delicate and no less aromatic taste experience thanks to its 15% % truffle content. Delicious! It's also worth trying the one made according to old craftsmanship and traditionally matured on wooden boards. Münster cheese „Münster AOP“ Give it a try. The delicate cheese is hidden beneath a washed, orange rind and has a lovely mild and pleasantly aromatic flavor. (It's best served with some pearl onions and fresh bread, or alternatively (as in Alsace) with roasted or boiled potatoes. My tip: a glass of Gewürztraminer or Pinot Gris goes perfectly with it!)
The friendly staff on site will be happy to advise you on the selection of your products.
The [missing word] is also particularly fine. „Allgäuer Landkäsle“, a traditionally produced soft cheese with a creamy, soft consistency and an aromatic, spicy flavor; the spicy „Appenzeller Edel-würzig AOP 9 Monats“ (Swiss cheese produced with a 700-year-old artisanal tradition, free from additives and ideal for fondue and raclette) as well as the „A 1652 Bunker Cheese“ – A true novelty in the world of cheese at Schlemmermeyer. The Bunker Cheese is a creamy soft cheese with a spicy and unique flavor, as well as a long-lasting creamy aroma, and is made from fresh mountain raw milk. The cheese gets its name from the place where it matures – a former bunker called "A-1652," which, due to its temperature and humidity, offers ideal conditions for the cheese's ripening (approximately three months). A must-try! I also highly recommend the „Bleu chevre cire dÁbeille“, because he flagshipthis year's Christmas promotion at Schlemmermeyer Its name means "Blue Goat Cheese in Beeswax" and it is a goat cheese matured in mead with noble molds and a creamy texture. (It is produced through the natural fermentation of must made from water and honey. It is then coated with beeswax and preserved in blossom honey, which gives it its creamy, melting consistency and slightly sweet note.)
Individual gift boxes and Christmas baskets are waiting for you.
Even in the hot dishes and delicacies There's a huge selection. Starting with something topped with Emmental cheese. „"Alsatian potato gratin"“ and „"Alsatian Salmon and Spinach Gratin"“, above „(whole or half) goose breast“, up to „"French duck rillette with orange"“ There are all sorts of treats included. Also „"Goose rillettes"“ Made from fine goose meat and fat, which can be ideally combined with fresh white bread, you can find at Schlemmermeyer. (Definitely try it if you like to experiment. Rillettes are often served as a spread on baguettes, country bread or toast as an appetizer, but also for breakfast.)
IMPORTANT: Each product has the Quality in focus. For example, the goose breast comes exclusively from Polish geese that are not live-plucked and are raised without force-feeding. They are traditionally dry-salted, mildly smoked, hand-sewn, and then vacuum-packed. The "French Duck Rillette with Orange," on the other hand, comes from the family business "Rillettes de l'Ermitage," which specializes in the production of rillettes, and is made according to a traditional farmer's recipe in northern France, free of preservatives. And so it is. The selection is virtually inexhaustible. From „"Chicken salad"“ with chicken, pineapple, apple and mandarin orange pieces, over the best „"Goose Foie Royale" in an 80g jar, or refined with spices „"Duck mousse with port wine"“, all the way to delicious Gingerbread (Warning, highly addictive! ;-)) or „"Fried almonds and herbs"“ As a snack, there really is something for every connoisseur!
You absolutely must try it! The Schlemmermeyer sparkling wine with gold leaf!
My exclusive tip for you: Grab a bottle of the house wine „"Aromatic Schlemmermeyer sparkling wine with gold leaf"“ (short: „Gold Secco“) and from „"Schlemmermeyer Christmas Liqueur"“ The sparkling wine has a flavor profile between dry and sweet and is very easy to drink. It contains real gold leaf and is a real eye-catcher on any festive table. Its counterpart, the liqueur, is also ideal as an aperitif and pairs perfectly with sweet desserts or even with... „Schlemmermeyer semolina porridge“. My personal tip: Mix the "Gold Secco" and Christmas liqueur to make a sparkling mixed drink! – Fabulous taste and very delicious! (Of course, both drinks are not only ideal for Christmas and the Advent season, but also as a gift for various occasions.)

In conclusion: Use the "quiet time"—that is, the beloved Advent and Christmas season—to discover Schlemmermeyer's delicious products and consciously treat yourself to something good. Due to the current situation, we're all certainly tightening our belts here and there, but in my opinion, this should be the last thing, or better yet, the last thing, when it comes to food, eating, and enjoyment. We should use the festive season specifically to treat ourselves to something good and spend time with our friends and loved ones. Why not enjoy it at the highest level?
(Background information on Parmesan and DOPParmigiano Reggiano, according to strict DOP regulations, may only be produced in Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Bologna (west of the Reno River), and Mantua (south of the Po River). The abbreviation DOP is the designation for the highest level of quality control in Italy, Spain, and Portugal and stands for "Protected Designation of Origin." The 36-40 month aged Parmesan is called "Stravecchio," while the 24-month aged Parmesan is called "Vecchio." Parmesan's texture can be described as "crystalline." It is therefore excellent enjoyed as a curd or finely shaved. The most noticeable difference between Grana Padano and Parmesan is the more buttery and delicate flavor of Grana Padano, which is due to its longer aging period. Generally speaking, the longer Parmesan ages, the more intense and robust its flavor.; Background information on AOPAOP stands for "Appellation d'Origine Protégée", which translates to "protected designation of origin". Products bearing this designation are produced, processed, and refined in a clearly defined region.
