Organic Stollen Spice Blend

Product description

Discover Biova’s organic Stollen spice blend – a well-balanced mix for classic Christmas baking such as Christstollen, mini stollen and fruit loaves. Warming notes of cinnamon, cloves and star anise are lifted by bright accents of orange, lemon and lemon myrtle.

All spices come from certified organic farming and are processed in Germany into a coarse, granulated blend. This gives you an aroma-stable Biova winter spice that distributes evenly in the dough and is suitable for bakeries, foodservice and home baking alike.

Use the organic Stollen spice flexibly in stollen, cookies, winter desserts and hot drinks. Even small amounts are enough to create a consistent, aromatic seasoning with a classic Christmas character.

Origin

The spice blend is developed, mixed and packed in Germany. Biova relies on selected organic spices from suitable countries of origin to ensure a stable flavour profile.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

Individual spices such as cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and star anise are gently dried after harvest and then ground or coarsely cracked, depending on the spice. They are then carefully processed in Germany into a coarse, granulated organic spice blend for both bulk and retail formats.

Special features

This blend is defined by the combination of classic Christmas spices with fresh citrus notes and aromatic lemon myrtle. Bourbon vanilla, tonka bean, nutmeg and mace add extra depth and a sweet-spicy nuance to the Biova Stollen spice.

Differences in origin and processing

Depending on the origin of the raw spices, heat, sweetness and citrus freshness may vary slightly, but are carefully balanced in the final blend. Centralised processing and packing in Germany ensure a consistent granulation and reliable flavour profile for both bulk and retail variants.

Taste & aroma

On the nose, warm aromas of cinnamon, cloves and star anise dominate, rounded off with delicate vanilla. On the palate, orange and lemon peel meet the gentle heat of ginger and the floral note of lemon myrtle, while nutmeg, mace and tonka bean complete the wintry impression.
