Boneberger Butcher Shop – A Look Behind the Counters of the Bavarian Butcher Shop || I recently told you about the Bavarian butcher shop Boneberger for the first time. My first article was about the History, philosophy, and the branches ofon Boneberger. Today, in part two, I'm taking you to one of Boneberger's butcher shop branches, and together we'll take a look at the counters and get to know their product range! I've also asked around to find out what makes this butcher shop special and why it's worth buying your meat and sausage products at Boneberger.
Fresh, fresher, Boneberger! It doesn't get any better than this! 🙂
The product range of the Boneberger butcher shop
Boneberger Butcher Shop now has 23 branches. The newest opening took place this year in Dachau. The branch is currently being renovated, and you can return on May 12th to shop for the finest meat and sausages. (If you'd like to get a preview of the new shop design that awaits you in Dachau, check out the modern and attractive Boneberger branches in Pasing and Solln.) Since the grand opening is still pending, I visited the newest branch, which opened in 2020, in Solln. It's a beautifully designed butcher shop with a snack bar area, a dry-aging cabinet, and bistro tables for enjoying your meal in the sunshine.
Over 400 different items of the highest quality are available daily at the counters of Boneberger butcher shops.
Now to the Boneberger product range: In total, this range comprises approximately 400 different items, including around 200 varieties of sausages alone – from Weisswurst and salami to Vienna sausages and bratwurst in a wide variety of styles. The assortment is divided into pork, beef, and veal; poultry, lamb, and game; as well as sliced sausage, sausages, spreadable sausage, deli salads, cooked and cured ham, salami, and a selection of different cheeses.
In addition to the extensive standard range, which is identical in all branches, there is a seasonal summer and winter range, which offers us further items. For example, blood and liver sausages or sausage strudel for the cold winter months, or also differently prepared grill skewers, various steaks with different marinades, bratwurst specialties for the grill and much more in the summer.
Also included in every Boneberger butcher shop's program: A daily changing menu Lunch menu From Monday to Friday, the lunch menu features two different dishes each day – one with meat and one vegetarian – giving you the opportunity to choose a freshly cooked, homemade meal to pick up. I live very close to a Boneberger branch and love checking out the lunch specials at the beginning of each week, choosing at least one highlight. Options include, for example, "spicy sliced beef in peppercorn cream sauce with buttered rice," "tender roast pork neck from a young pig in caraway sauce with bacon dumplings," "braised beef shoulder in its own sauce with buttered noodles," or "green bean stew with bacon and sausage." If I prefer vegetarian on a particular day, there are also a variety of vegetarian dishes available. (On Fridays, there's usually fish and a dessert.) Each Boneberger branch also has additional delicacies and a special lunch dish at the counter, which is only available at that specific location.
Boneberger's white sausages have a particularly high proportion of veal and are especially easy to digest.
Of course, I also asked around to find out which products were the absolute best. „Bar Highlights“ at Boneberger are. So you definitely shouldn't miss out on the – as I can personally confirm – very delicious white sausages Don't miss out on these with their particularly high veal content. The sausages are incredibly easy to digest and won't leave you feeling heavy and sluggish for hours. If you want to try them, the best thing to do is: Because of their lower fat content and higher veal content, these white sausages aren't meant to be sucked. This is proof that Boneberger white sausages are simply exceptionally good and high-quality. (Personally, I prefer to bite into them anyway. ;-)) Boneberger's veal liverwurst is also said to be particularly creamy and tender. I haven't tried it yet, but I will soon, when I cook with some Boneberger products for you and sample them as part of a snack.
The one is also really good. „"Lechtal Ham"“, which matures for five to six months and is rubbed with rock salt, as well as the „"Boneberger Gourmet Salami"“ – also requiring a long maturation period (up to six weeks) and boasting a very intense and distinctive aroma. Have you tried them yet? And of course, think about them next time you're there. Beef steak and/or veal At your own dining table, also visit the Boneberger butcher shop and convince yourself of the high-quality meat that I have described to you in detail.
Only the best, freshly slaughtered Bavarian meat is on display in the counters.
It's also good to know that no matter which Boneberger branch you prefer to shop at, you can pre-order the items of your choice. Simply speak to one of the friendly staff members and place your order. All you need to do then is pick up your fresh goods on your chosen day. Have you tried it yet?
Why shop at Boneberger butcher shop?
To answer this question, let me digress a little. For this article, I had the opportunity to speak with the charming master butcher Katharina Walk – responsible for all 23 Boneberger branches and also the daughter of Boneberger CEO Michael Walk. During this conversation, I learned not only that the high quality of the product is always paramount at Boneberger, but I also clearly sensed the passion, expertise, and dedication that everyone at Boneberger brings to their work. With around 500 employees and 23 branches in Bavaria, this is certainly no easy task. Freshness isn't the only top priority; strong team cohesion is equally important. Only when everything else is right, and the individual and their hard work are valued, can work be consistently good and enjoyable. The result is exclusively the finest, homemade products at Boneberger counters.
Boneberger is distinguished by its superior product quality, friendly service, and 100% homemade ingredients.
„At Boneberger, we do everything ourselves and always ensure the best freshness and quality for all our products. The meat our valued customers buy from us always comes from animals that were freshly slaughtered in our own Schongau abattoir. We exclusively slaughter Bavarian animals and don't buy anything from other countries. Therefore, the meat in our counters is 100% Bavarian. At Boneberger, we work with a Bavarian calf breeder who breeds exclusively for us. In our Schongau abattoir, we also process 80% heifer meat, meaning female animals that haven't yet calved. This gives our meat a fantastic marbling, almost comparable to Wagyu beef. Quality, the best regional products, and transparency for our customers are very important to us at Boneberger,“ says Katharina Walk about the family-run butcher shop.
I'm looking forward to the next article: There's Boneberger Brotzeit (a traditional German snack) and meat for me!
Back to my personal answer to the question: "So why shop at Boneberger?" – I love going to Boneberger because everything is made and butchered in-house – from the canned liverwurst to the Italian cacciatore. You might recall that in the first article I briefly mentioned Boneberger's own Italian aging facilities. In addition, Boneberger does its own butchering and processes exclusively Bavarian meat. Only the best raw materials and ingredients from the region go into their products, meaning only the best goods end up in your Boneberger shopping bag.
Personally, I find the excellent quality and wide selection clearly evident even at a glance at the counters. I also particularly appreciate that the animals are treated humanely before being slaughtered in Boneberger's own butcher shop. Furthermore, all the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. If you buy meat and sausages that you've never prepared before, they're happy to offer preparation tips. So, if you haven't yet shopped at Boneberger's butcher shop, you should definitely do so and see for yourself.
What happens next?
In the next, third part, I'll be bringing some of the deli counter highlights I've described home with me and, together with you, preparing a "Boneberger snack" and firing up the oven. I'll be wielding the wooden spoon and conjuring up a delicious dish with the finest Boneberger meat. I'll also reiterate the advantages of the products and share my personal conclusion.
