Rosenberg Organic Strawberry. Organic fruit spread made from strawberries – refreshingly fruity, with recognizable fruit texture and 82 g of fruit per 100 g.

Rosenberg Organic Strawberry is an organic fruit spread made from strawberries from the Beerenbunt fruit farm in Helbigsdorf, cooked by Rosenberg Delikatessen in Leipzig. It contains only cane sugar, lemon juice, and apple pectin. The jar contains 160 g.

Strawberry from Rosenberg carries a label detail that you should take a closer look at: “Made from 82 g of fruit per 100 g.” This number indicates the fruit content, i.e., how much fruit was used for 100 g of spread. The higher it is, the more the jar tastes like fruit and the less like sugar. Rosenberg deliberately focuses on plenty of fruit and little added sugar. That is why the manufacturer calls their jars fruit spread rather than jam. The lemon juice enhances the freshness of the strawberry, while the apple pectin provides the set. The strawberries, cane sugar, and lemon juice come from controlled organic cultivation. Cane sugar has a slightly rounder taste than white household sugar and goes well with strawberries.

Taste

The strawberry tastes refreshingly strawberry-like, as the manufacturer states. It is fruity and light, with a mild acidity and a rounded sweetness that is never intrusive. The structure of the fruit is still slightly recognizable. You have small pieces in the spread, but no whole berries.

Because the fruit is in the foreground, the taste is reminiscent of fresh strawberries with a little sugar rather than a thick, sweet jam. The color is a bright strawberry red. Among the Rosenberg spreads, the strawberry is the mildest and therefore often a favorite with children. If you are expecting an acidic, tart spread, you are more likely to find that in the redcurrant or sour cherry.

Usage

The strawberry is an all-rounder for the breakfast table. It always goes well on rolls with butter, toast, croissants, or a slice of sweet braided bread. With quark or cream cheese underneath, it becomes creamier. Stir it into plain yogurt or skyr, and you have fruit yogurt without any additional ingredients.

In the afternoon, it belongs on waffles, pancakes, or scones with cream. For a quick cake, spread it between two sponge cake layers or on a swiss roll. It also goes well on vanilla ice cream or rice pudding. After opening, the jar should be refrigerated. According to the manufacturer, you should eat it within 5 to 7 days because Rosenberg does not use preservatives.

Our tip: Fresh waffles with a spoonful of crème fraîche and a spoonful of strawberry. The acidity in the crème fraîche and the fruit in the jar complement each other, and that is all you need on a Sunday afternoon.

Origin

The strawberries grow in the fields of the Beerenbunt fruit farm in Helbigsdorf. The farm also supplies Rosenberg with blackberries and raspberries. Rosenberg works with small, organic-certified plantations and meadow orchards in Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia, and Brandenburg. According to the manufacturer, the recipes for the spreads come from their own development and family traditions. Matthias Rosenberg founded the small organic manufactory in Leipzig in the autumn of 2016. Anyone who would like to get to know the manufactory can come to the factory sale at Klingenstraße 22 on the first Friday of every month, with tours at 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. Rosenberg is organic-certified by the control body DE-ÖKO-060. According to the list of ingredients, the strawberry does not contain any of the 14 major allergens.

For whom

The strawberry is for families, for children, and for everyone looking for a mild, fruity spread for every day. It fits just as well with a quick breakfast during the week as it does with a long brunch on the weekend. It is ideal as an introduction to the Rosenberg range. Stronger and seedless is the Organic Blackberry from the same farm. Fruity-acidic with many small pieces is the Organic Sour Cherry. You can find all the manufactory's spreads and mustards on our page for Rosenberg Delikatessen. This jar is not suitable for those who are used to a firm, very sweet jam and are looking for exactly that.
