Four ingredients in a 140g jar, cold-filled and, according to the manufacturer, in raw food quality. No cheese, no basil, no pine nuts – a vegan pesto that tastes like the forest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSiberian Forest Pesto by TAIGA Naturkost\u003c\/strong\u003e is a wild garlic pesto in which cedar nuts take on the role that pine nuts fulfill in pesto alla genovese. Cedar nuts are the seeds of the Siberian cedar, a stone pine that grows in the Altai Mountains. They are smaller than pine nuts, softer to the bite, and milder in taste. The wild garlic comes from certified wild collection and makes up nearly half of the jar. Added to this are only olive oil and natural salt. Wild garlic has a short season: a few weeks in the spring, then it flowers and it's over. This jar brings the forest aroma to the plate even in November, when pasta needs to be ready quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen opened, the pesto smells of fresh wild garlic, green and garlic-like. On the palate, this impression remains at the forefront: spicy, robust, with the typical sharpness of wild garlic, which is milder than that of garlic and fades quickly. The manufacturer describes the taste as naturally robust and nutty-spicy, and it arrives on the palate in exactly this order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cedar nuts provide the nutty side. They are soft, slightly sweet, and have a fine resinous note that is reminiscent of the forest. The olive oil carries the fruitiness, the natural salt provides the seasoning. Because the pesto is cold-filled and, according to the manufacturer, processed below 45 degrees, the wild garlic green remains fresh and the color rich.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sibirisches-baeren-pesto-bio\"\u003eSiberian Bear Pesto\u003c\/a\u003e from the same company, the Forest Pesto is the clear, green variant: only herb, nut, oil, and salt. The Bear Pesto is milder and fruitier, with chestnuts, berries, and porcini mushrooms. Anyone expecting a soft basil pesto with cheese will find this to be significantly more robust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe classic is pasta. Boil spaghetti, linguine, or ribbons, remove them from the water, and stir in the pesto with a splash of pasta water. One to two tablespoons per serving is enough; the starch in the water makes the sauce creamy. Add the pesto only at the end; with heat, the wild garlic loses color and freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer also recommends the pesto for salad, bread, and bowls. On a slice of sourdough bread, it replaces a spread; in a bowl with quinoa, roasted vegetables, and chickpeas, a spoonful adds seasoning and fat. As a marinade for tofu or vegetables, stir two tablespoons of pesto with a little olive oil. The pieces marinate for half an hour before they go into the pan or on the grill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a dip, stir a tablespoon of pesto into vegan yogurt or quark. Serve with raw vegetables, bread, or baked potatoes. A teaspoon refines salad dressings, soups, and stews, for example, a potato soup or a lentil stew just before serving. Scrambled eggs, omelets, and mashed potatoes also get a green note with a small spoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStore the jar in a cool, dry, and dark place. After opening, it belongs in the refrigerator. Smooth the surface after each use, cover it with a little olive oil, and always use a clean spoon; then the pesto will keep longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fry new potatoes with the skin on in a pan until they are crispy, and after taking them off the heat, toss them with a tablespoon of pesto. Serve with a dollop of yogurt. That is a dinner for two in twenty minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cedar nuts in the pesto come from the Altai Mountains in Siberia, from organic-certified wild collection. Collector families go into the forests with tents for two to three weeks in late summer, climb the trees, and pick the cones by hand. The cones dry for about a week, then the nuts are shelled, sorted, and vacuum-sealed on-site before traveling by truck and train to the Palatinate. The wild garlic also comes from certified wild collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pesto is processed in the TAIGA Naturkost factory in Harthausen in the Palatinate; the administration is based in Neustadt an der Weinstraße. The company's history began in 1999, when the Russian composer Alexander Sojnikow immigrated to the Palatinate and initially founded a publishing house there. 2004 saw the organic certification and the cedar nut project in the Altai, and 2010 the brand TAIGA Naturkost. Today, his son Jaroslaw Sojnikow runs the company in the second generation. According to the manufacturer, the team is on-site every year for the harvest and organic inspection of the collection areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pesto is cold-filled and not heated. The manufacturer calls this raw food quality. The jar has a screw cap and straight inner walls, so you can reach the corners with a spoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor whom\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Forest Pesto is for anyone who loves wild garlic and wants to have it in the house all year round. It fits into a vegan diet because it does without cheese, and into after-work cooking because the pasta is on the table in ten minutes. For families, it is a supply in the cupboard; for pesto fans, it is a new variety alongside basil and tomato. As a small gift, the jar works well together with a pack of good pasta.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want the forest aroma pure, take the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/zedernuss-mus-bio\"\u003eCedar Nut Butter\u003c\/a\u003e from TAIGA Naturkost, made from one hundred percent cedar nuts.

The base consists of pine nuts, the seeds of the Siberian cedar from the Altai mountains, ground into a creamy paste. Dates provide the sweetness, cocoa powder the chocolate. That is all there is on the label. Sunday morning, the coffee is brewing, the children want rolls with something sweet: then this jar is on the table, and the ingredient list is read in three seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cream tastes chocolatey, with the soft, caramel-like sweetness of dates and a nutty foundation that remains fine and mild. The cocoa is present at seven percent, dark and slightly tart, less sweet than store-bought nut-nougat creams. The pine nuts provide a subtle forest aroma that lingers in the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe consistency is dense and spreadable, firmer when stored cool, and soft at room temperature. Those expecting a sweet, smooth nut-nougat cream will find the pine nut chocolate cream to be tart, darker, and less sweet.

One to two tablespoons is a serving. On a warm roll, it becomes soft and runs slightly; on whole grain bread, it remains firm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is easiest with fruit: dip apple slices or banana slices, and the afternoon snack is ready. For a dessert, stir two tablespoons into yogurt or skyr, topped with a few berries. In smoothies, one spoonful replaces both cocoa and nut butter. For pralines, shape the cold cream into small balls and roll them in cocoa or chopped nuts. Store the jar away from light at room temperature. According to the manufacturer, white spots are fat blooms that disappear again when stored in warmer conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spread the cream between two oat cookies and place them in the fridge for an hour.

The sweetness comes from the fruit – no sugar, no honey, no added flavorings. 225 g in a stand-up pouch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"kunterbunt\" Nut Mix by TAIGA Naturkost\u003c\/strong\u003e is the classic trail mix concept, fully realized: instead of peanuts and raisins, this blend features whole cashew kernels, pecans, almonds, and Siberian cedar nuts, plus goji berries and sour cherries. The cedar nuts are the seeds of the Siberian cedar, a stone pine, and the product that TAIGA has been working with since 2004. According to the manufacturer, all ingredients are of raw food quality, meaning they have been heated to no more than 45 degrees Celsius during processing, and they are blended and packaged in their own facility in the Palatinate. The play on words in the German name (GeNuss – a combination of \"nut\" and \"enjoyment\") says it all: nuts and pleasure in one bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe mix thrives on the interplay between crunchy and fruity. Cashews are mild and slightly sweet, pecans are buttery with a hint of bitterness, and almonds are firm and nutty. The cedar nuts are the softest in the bag: small, light, with a resinous note reminiscent of pine nuts, only sweeter and milder. Goji berries add a subtle, slightly tart sweetness, while the sour cherries provide a clear acidity that keeps the palate fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the nuts are unroasted and unsalted, the mix has a subtler flavor than roasted snack mixes – but in return, you can taste each individual nut.

Cedar nuts are the seeds of the Siberian cedar, a type of stone pine, and are wild-harvested in the Altai Mountains. Added to this are four ingredients that, at first glance, have little to do with each other: mulberries with their honey-like sweetness, physalis with fruity acidity, whole fermented Criollo cocoa beans, and mild cashews. Together, this creates a blend that starts sweet, continues with acidity, and finishes with a tart note – like a deconstructed dessert.

The mulberries taste of honey and fig, the physalis are tart and fruity like a small gooseberry, with the chewy, almost sticky consistency of a dried fruit. The cocoa beans act as the counterweight: crunchy, tart, with the bitterness of dark chocolate and a fine fruity acidity developed during fermentation. The cedar nuts are soft and resinous-nutty, the cashews mild and creamy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThose who eat a bean on its own will find it bitter; those who chew it together with a mulberry will have chocolate and honey in their mouth.

A tablespoon over muesli adds a nutty flavor, while a handful turns porridge into a nut breakfast. They almost dissolve in smoothies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey are just as at home in savory dishes: coarsely ground or crushed, they replace breadcrumbs, serve as a base for herb crusts on fish or vegetables, and as a baking ingredient in dough for bread, rolls, and pastries. Sprinkled over pasta or roasted vegetables, they replace grated cheese. Store the bag in a cool, dark, and dry place; once opened, keep it airtight and use within three months according to the manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mix two tablespoons of flakes with one tablespoon of nutritional yeast, a pinch of salt, and a little garlic powder.

The company traces back to the Russian composer Alexander Sojnikow, who came to the Palatinate in 1999 and initially founded a publishing house there.

According to the manufacturer, it is freshly pressed each week in their own oil mill in the Palatinate, at a temperature not exceeding 30 degrees Celsius. 100 ml in a bottle, vegan, raw food quality as stated by the manufacturer. Not a frying oil, not a blended oil – an oil for the finished plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic Cedar Nut Oil from TAIGA Naturkost\u003c\/strong\u003e is the oil that started the company's story. Cedar nuts are the seeds of the Siberian cedar, a stone pine that grows in the Altai mountains, with kernels that mature in the cones for three to four years. From the shelled nuts, the manufacturer presses a light amber-colored oil, which they call \"Gold of the Taiga.\" The 100 ml bottle is small because the oil is best fresh and meant to be used at the table, not at the stove. A spoonful over a salad, a drizzle over soup, a few drops on bread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFlavor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cedar nut oil tastes finely nutty with a soft finish and a delicate forest aroma, as described by the manufacturer. It is milder than walnut oil, without its bitterness, and less grassy than young olive oil. The nut note is sweet and rounded, the texture silky, almost light. In the glass, it is bright, like amber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it is pressed at a maximum of 30 degrees, the aroma remains delicate and volatile. This also means: it does not handle heat well and loses its signature qualities when heated. Anyone expecting a robust, roasted nut oil will find it subtle and refined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer recommends the oil for salads, bowls, dips, or used pure with lightly warm dishes and raw food specialties. A leaf salad with lemon, salt, and a tablespoon of this oil is the simplest recipe. It pairs just as well with beetroot, fennel, or carrot salad as it does with a bowl of quinoa and roasted vegetables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrizzle it over potato or pumpkin soup only once it is on the plate, forming a thin line on the surface. A few drops on fresh goat cheese, in hummus, or in a yogurt dip add a nutty flavor without the need for nut pieces. The oil is too precious and too delicate for frying or deep-frying. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from light. According to the manufacturer, the oil is very sensitive to UV light; you should avoid direct sunlight, even for a few minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Boil jacket potatoes, halve them while still warm, and add the oil, coarse salt, and chives.
