sauerkraut seasoning

Origin & Special Features

This classic spice blend is based on old, traditional recipes from southern German and Eastern European cuisine. It combines traditional ingredients like caraway, juniper, and allspice, which have been used for centuries to refine sauerkraut – for an authentic, hearty flavor, just like in the old days.

Taste & Aroma

The blend brings warm, slightly sweet, resinous notes of allspice and juniper, combined with the characteristic spice of caraway and black pepper. Marjoram provides a mild herbal note that beautifully rounds out the cabbage. The result: balanced, aromatic, not overpowering—just right for perfect sauerkraut.

Application

Simply add 1–2 teaspoons of the spice mix per kilogram of cabbage while cooking. The flavors develop best when slowly braised with the cabbage – whether traditionally with bacon and onions, vegetarian, or in a stew. It's also ideal for homemade pickled cabbage!

Health benefits

Caraway and juniper support digestion—especially in hearty dishes. Allspice and pepper stimulate the metabolism and give sauerkraut a soothing, warming depth.
