In Frauenkirchen, not far from Gols in Burgenland, Erich Stekovics, together with his wife Prisca, cultivates almost forgotten, old varieties, including tomatoes, peppers, chilies, cucumbers, garlic, onions, but also fruits such as apricots and Mieze Schindler strawberries. All these varieties were displaced by conventional agriculture – at Erich Stekovics', they have found a new home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStekovics – a life for good taste\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe awareness for good food and good taste was instilled in the charismatic farmer from an early age, as his parents already grew vegetables and fruits in open fields. The transformation from seed to ripe fruit fascinated and captivated him early on. Even though his theology studies and work as a religion teacher may initially seem like a detour, it is a straight, coherent path that Erich Stekovics has followed. With his large collection of seeds of old varieties, he knows, like Noah with his ark, about the diversity of creation that must be preserved. Over the years, he has built the largest collection of tomato seeds worldwide with well over 3000 tomato varieties. 600 chili varieties, as well as countless rare peppers, onions, and basil varieties, and many other field crops are part of his collection. A few of these are hand-cleaned, cut, and cooked down or pickled in vinegar in his manufactory and brought into jars, so that you too can enjoy the wonderful taste of these old varieties at home.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"schwarze-johanninusse","title":"Blackcurrant nuts","description":"\u003ch2\u003eStekovics Black Walnuts – Rare Delicacy with Aromatic Depth\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eStekovics Black Walnuts\u003c\/strong\u003e are an extraordinary specialty for gourmets and the curious.

It comes to you in a 200-gram bag, bright red, finely ground, and so full of character that you'll smell the difference from supermarket powder as soon as you open it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBright red, fruity-sweet, without heat\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs soon as you tear open the bag, a warm, sweet-spicy scent greets you — ripe paprika, a hint of tomato sun, a touch of wood. No note of bitterness, no dusty hint of hay, as you know it from cheaper powders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, the sweet paprika presents itself as a rounded, fruit-accentuated aroma that slowly unfolds in warm dishes and remains surprisingly direct in cold ones. Juicy, sunny, mild — and so color-intensive that even a small spoon gives your goulash the deep burgundy red that a good Pannonian dish simply has.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWe like it with goulash, paprika cabbage and cream cheese bread\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sweet powder is a reliable companion to Pannonian cuisine. In goulash, its sweetness only develops if you sauté it briefly in fat with the onions — not too hot, otherwise it will become bitter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn paprika cabbage, you can add it generously, with caraway and a dash of vinegar towards the end. We also like it for cold seasoning: sprinkled over potato salad, stirred into quark for a spread with chives, or as a splash of color and aroma on an egg dish with soft pumpernickel. If you want to expand your spice rack, you'll find \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/salz-und-gewuerze\"\u003eother salt and spice specialties\u003c\/a\u003e with a similarly clear signature in our selection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore it dry, dark, and tightly sealed — then the color vibrancy will last for many months. A small screw-top storage container in the spice cabinet, stored away from light, is the best solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStone mill in three stages, de-stemmed by hand\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/erich-stekovics\"\u003eErich Stekovics\u003c\/a\u003e cultivates traditional paprika varieties on his fields in Frauenkirchen on Lake Neusiedl, which have been used in the Pannonian basin for generations. The pods are allowed to dry on the plant — fully ripened, without mechanical haste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly then are they harvested, pod by pod, manually de-stemmed and cleaned of leaf and stem residues with a knife. What industrial machines take with them — stems, green leaves, anything that dilutes the taste — stays in Stekovics' field. This creates a powder made from pure pod fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a small mill, the dried material is then very carefully crushed in three stages with stone millstones. The gentler the grinding, the less frictional heat is generated — and the better the essential oils of the pod are preserved in the powder. You can taste that. Once you've held such a paprika powder in your hand, you'll hardly want to see industrial spice again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEnjoyment Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe like it classic in beef goulash — a small handful of powder directly into the softly sautéed onions in the casserole, removed from the heat, briefly stirred with tomato paste, then only the meat and broth. This preserves the sweetness and the deep red color. A well-stocked Pannonian pantry also includes reaching for the pickled tomatoes and peppers from our selection \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/antipasti-und-eingelegtes\"\u003eAntipasti \u0026 Pickled\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Erich Stekovics","offers":[{"title":"200 g","offer_id":56407225598278,"sku":"047STE0030","price":16.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4960\/1350\/files\/stekovics-paprikapulver.jpg?v=1776674640"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4960\/1350\/collections\/stekovics-logo.png?v=1775845120","url":"https:\/\/genussland.de\/en\/collections\/stekovics-tomaten-chili-paprika.oembed?page=2","provider":"genussland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
