We all know that you really don't need anything more than really good bread to enjoy good cheese. Perhaps our sinfully delicious raw milk butter is also a good addition to this dream pairing, but you really don't need anything more for perfect happiness.
For the sake of our cheese, our shop always has a certain level of humidity, which isn't so good for bread, so bread is not part of our regular range. We know this to the disappointment of some customers, of course.
And so we are particularly delighted to have found a bread that holds up well in our special microclimate: we are talking about the fantastic bread from The Bread Station in Kreuzkölln. It is beautifully soft on the inside and wonderfully crispy on the outside, and: we will have it available every Friday and Saturday from now on!
The bread is baked with great care and love using only the finest ingredients by baker Magnus from Denmark in his bakery on Maybachufer. It is yeast-free and made with natural sourdough based on a rye flour starter. This is created by natural yeasts that live on rye kernels and begin to ferment immediately when they come into contact with water. To obtain a good starter, the kernels must be allowed to ferment for at least 24 hours – but Magnus lets his starter ferment for three whole days. Perhaps that is why his bread was recently chosen as the best in the city by the food blog Stil in Berlin. And it also explains why even the "pure wheat breads" always contain about 5% rye.
Since the bread should always be fresh and we don't want anything to go to waste, we always order only a manageable number of loaves from baker Magnus, so you'll have to be quick (or call), because once it's gone, it's gone.
The creamy fresh goat cheese from Rögnitz in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is also a dream addition to the bread, and we will now be offering it regularly as well. It is made by cheesemaker Ute, the person behind Kunst & Käse, from the milk of 100 goats. We also had it last year, and since we simply like it so much, we're continuing to offer it this year. It made its debut at the end of April as part of our goat cheese tasting. Then you had the opportunity to buy it plain or try it seasoned – once savory with confit tomatoes and arugula, once sweet with Corsican clementine jam and basil. Perhaps you remember ...
We are so enthusiastic about both the bread and the cheese that we are very happy to be able to offer you both in our shop, and we are already excited to hear what you think!
Since we can only offer limited quantities of both products, we recommend coming early or calling ahead. You can reach us on 030-88683610.
