Freiburg im Breisgau Travel Forum

Hi,
I will visit Freiburg in the 1st week of Dec. for 4 days. I read about this Hand made jam place in the black forest, and I want to know how to reach it and how far is it from Freiburg or any information about it.
the address is Konfitürenmanufaktur, Alfred Faller GmbH, Seeweg 3• 79694 Utzenfeld/Schwarzwald.
one more question, does anyone know a cheese factory in this area? I love visiting factories and buying products fresh from the factory :)
what is the best place to have black forest cake without alcohol ? I think its called 'econo' right ?
Thanx :)

Freiburg has an excellent producers market around the cathedral. Daily except on Sundays. It will be no problem to find there hand made jam direct from the producer. Same with cheese.

"In Germany, however, only the traditional recipes with Kirschwasser are widespread, and other variants are very rare."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirschwasser
There exists artificial Kirschwasser flavor. It's used in cheap supermarket versions as real Kirschwasser is not cheap. Or with perfect flavor even expensive.

As long as the traditional recipe is used, i.e. not cherries preserved in alcohol, the end product is not considered alcoholic in Germany*). Due the low boiling temperature of alcohol and the high temperature in the oven not much alcohol is left. Only the Kirschwasser flavor.
*) This is the case if a product contains no more alcohol than e.g. apples if picked from the tree or fresh pressed apple juice.

I guess our friend ssweetest wants to have the cake absolutely alcolfree (=halal).
But when you google in German "black forest cake without alcohol" you only get 9 hits. when you google "black forest cake" (in English) + halal it is 5000 hits! I`m quite shure that also confectioners in Freiburg serve tourists from around the world with this speciality. Don`t hesitate to ask in one of the many pastry shops.
