This is how you recognize a real Dresden Stollen
Stollen is a traditional pastry. Dresdner Stollen is under double protection. The Dresdner Stollen Protection Association preserves the name under trademark law. He awards the golden Stollen seal. According to EU law, Dresdner Stollen is registered as a protected geographical indication, recognizable by the blue and yellow EU seal.

Stollen skin clean properly
Fat and sugar make Stollen richer. We did the math: an average 100-gram slice can use up to 32 percent of an adult’s daily fat allowance — and up to 78 percent of the tolerated amount of sugar.
In the best case with full aroma
With a luxury food such as Stollen, the focus is primarily on the taste. In the best case, it smells and tastes aromatic, with a balance of dried fruit and typical Stollen seasoning. It should be very loose in consistency, but stable when cut.
Five testers trained on cleats tasted all the products in the test. All grades from very good 1.0 to sufficient 4.0 are represented.
Of course, we not only tried the studs, but also analyzed them in the laboratory. The pollutant levels were all very low to low and therefore inconspicuous.
Tip: About taste can not be argued? But it can be evaluated objectively. In the special How do you test taste? learn how.
