Frequently Asked Questions
Does Schwartau Wild Preiselbeeren contain allergens?
Based on the ingredient list, this preserve is made from wild lingonberries, sugar, and natural pectin, without milk, egg, soy, nuts, or wheat as ingredients. It is imported from a German facility, so cross-contact notices can vary by production run. Anyone with a food allergy should read the printed label on the current tin before eating it.
How should I store Schwartau Wild Preiselbeeren?
Keep the unopened tin in a cool, dry pantry away from direct sunlight. Once opened, refrigerate it and close the lid tightly between uses, using a clean, dry spoon each time. Aim to finish the tin within about 4 to 6 weeks of opening for the best flavor and texture.
What is the difference between Preiselbeeren and cranberries?
Preiselbeeren, or wild lingonberries, are smaller and more tart than cranberries, with a more complex, slightly bitter flavor. They are the traditional European berry served with game and venison, while cranberries are more commonly used in North American cooking and baking.
Is Schwartau Wild Preiselbeeren imported from Germany?
Yes. This is the authentic Schwartau lingonberry preserve made in Bad Schwartau, Germany, in the original 350 g tin format, not a US-market reformulation. Real Prime Deals imports it and ships every order from our New Jersey warehouse, so customers receive the same recipe sold in Germany.
