Spice room

Up to 30 different kinds of spices and spice mixes are stored in our spice room.
Along with the known spices, such as pepper, paprika, garlic and peppercorn, some recipes contain also exotic spices such as marjoram and caraway.

Only a few people know the secret recipes of our family business. Some of these recipes were created generations before by Elfriede, the wife of the company founder August Strothlücke.

Nowadays “cutter master” Bernd guards our spices. He is responsible for the variety of tastes and richness of the Astro sausage.

The heavenly smelling spices come directly from the spice mill.
Bernd and his team blend each spice mix carefully together by hand. Using a scale they can weigh any amount exactly down to the last gram and fill the recipe accordingly.

Through his accuracy, the spice and cutter specialist, can guarantee the same consistent taste and the highest quality for all Astro products.
