Company
Faszination Kochen UG was founded in 2012 by Christian Nielsen and follows the principle of "from the farm to the fork". The company operates and manages gastronomic and agricultural businesses, processes and markets their products, and trades in produced and selected foods, lifestyle products and kitchenware via shops and the internet. The manufactory is located on a 12-hectare family farm in the heart of the Angeln region near Satrup, where old native fruit and berry varieties such as Holsteiner blood rhubarb, currants, raspberries and Damask roses are grown in crop rotation without high-performance fertilizers and pesticides. Products are handmade without flavor enhancers; excessive packaging is avoided; Weck jars as well as packaging made from algae and paper are preferred, and plastic contact is minimized. In addition to the manufactory, the company offers cooking courses, corporate training, grill and BBQ events, fine-dining menus, hire-a-chef services for events, and online video courses. Alongside this, Faszination Kochen publishes books, photos and films. Production is geared toward energy-saving renewable energy (solar and wind power) and low waste production.
