What faction do you belong to? To the chocolate lovers or the sugar glaze gourmets? It is exciting to see that the tastes for Gingerbread diverge so much that there are few people who like both types of Gingerbread equally.

Lebkuchen-Schmidt,has developed so many different types of Gingerbread that everyone can bite happily and contentedly into their favorite treat. The two most popular ones, chocolate and sugar glaze are in one pack because we are sure that in every family, both camps are represented. And with our large Lebkuchen roll, there is no argument, but rather a cozy enjoyment together with a cup of tea, coffee or mulled wine. Picture-book Christmas spirit!

We have packed the delicious Oblaten Lebkuchen airtight for long-lasting freshness. Just in case the pack does not empty immediately, although we think that is unlikely. Instead, we recommend ordering several packs of the Lebkuchen roll to have a good supply and to always be prepared for a little Gingerbread snack!

Mühlhauser Waldmeister Syrup ("Getränkesirup" in German) is a sweet, herbal syrup, based on woodruff, which is ideal for mixing with alcoholic drinks, soda (like 7Up) or Sparkling Water, producing a refreshing beverage.

A German tradition is to pour a splash of Waldmeister syrup in Berliner Weisse (Weiße) Beer but you can also mix it with wine to make a special Maibowle (Spring Drink). It also makes great cocktails, especially with Gin, adding a nice herbal note. Experiment adding Waldmeister Syrup as an ingredient in baking, or in making ice cream, sorbet, pudding or mousse.

No preservatives, no artificial sweeteners, vegan, lactose-free, gluten-free, no allergens. Must be refrigerated after opening.

Note: This is a simulated woodruff syrup as the actual woodruff herb is banned, in both Germany and the US, for human consumption in non-alcoholic foods/beverages because it contains the chemical coumarin.

Ingredients: Glucose-fructose syrup, water, sugar, flavoring, citric acid, staining safflower extract, maltodextrin, dye E131.

Emil Reimann  Dresdner Stollen "Edition Frauenkirche" is the classic among the Christmas pastries and inseparable from the city of Dresden. The tradition of this Christmas pastry goes back to the 15th century. Over the generations, the Dresden Stollen has become what it is today - a baking tradition of the highest quality.

Selected raw materials such as German butter, rum-soaked sultanas and the best spices are the basic ingredients of the Emil Reimann Stollen dough, which is crafted by hand, lovingly, in the traditional Stollen form. After baking, the Stollen is buttered and refined with sugar. 

The Dresden Frauenkirche was built by George Bähr between 1726 and 1743. The world-famous dome of the sacred building, the "Steinerne Glocke", is an architectural highlight. It has crowned and characterized the unique silhouette of the city of Dresden for many centuries. It was severely damaged by the air raid on February 13, 1945 and collapsed shortly afterwards. For many years it was just a ruin, a memorial to remind of the war, until it was rebuilt after reunification: on October 30, 2005, a festive consecration service took place in the new Frauenkirche. The ruin became a symbol of tolerance, peace and reconciliation.

All Emil Reimann Stollen come with an extra package of powdered sugar.

NOTE: This is the only commercial Stollen available with NO HYDROGENATED OILS!
