Origin and production
" Central European herb mixture for hearty pork dishes ".
This classic spice blend originates from Central European cuisine and is a staple in German and Austrian households. It was specially developed for pork and combines aromatic herbs and spices that have been used in roasting for generations. The ingredients are carefully dried, gently ground, and combined in a balanced way to preserve the authentic flavor of traditional meat dishes.
Taste and aroma
The blend is aromatic, spicy, and slightly piquant. Marjoram and caraway lend it a full-bodied, distinctive flavor, while pepper and paprika flakes provide warmth and depth. Mustard seeds contribute a subtle heat, and the mixed herbs harmoniously round out the profile – robust, balanced, and versatile.
Application
Ideal for pork roasts, chops, schnitzel, medallions, or crackling roasts. Generously rub the mixture into the meat before roasting, grilling, or braising, or marinate it in oil and a little vinegar. Also suitable as a low-salt alternative for seasoning finished dishes. Equally good with ground meat, hearty stews, or rustic vegetable dishes.
Interesting facts
Marjoram and caraway are classic ingredients in German meat dishes and are traditionally valued for their harmonious combination. Besides their flavorful effect, they are also considered easily digestible herbs that make heavy dishes easier to digest – one reason why this mixture remains so popular today.
