Frequently Asked Questions
What are Preiselbeeren?
Preiselbeeren are wild lingonberries — small, tart, deep-red berries that grow wild in northern European forests. They are closely related to cranberries but smaller and more intensely flavoured. In Germany, Preiselbeeren are the classic accompaniment to game and venison dishes.
What is the difference between Preiselbeeren and cranberries?
Preiselbeeren (lingonberries) are smaller and more tart than cranberries, with a more complex, slightly bitter flavour. They are the traditional European berry used with game, while cranberries are more common in North American cuisine.
Does Schwartau Wild Preiselbeeren contain preservatives?
No — this preserve is made without preservatives, artificial colours, or added flavourings. Natural preservation comes from the sugar content and natural fruit acidity.
