Calvin Klein goes back to its unisex roots with its new gender-neutral fragrance CK2. Fragrance was revolutionised in 1994 when Calvin Klein introduced CK One, the first scent marketed to both men and woman; now a new generation can enjoy its own shared fragrance. Light and sensual CK2 (100ml, €67.40) opens with the unexpected spice of wasabi. Middle note accents such as wet cobblestones, orris and rose add freshness, while hints of jasmine, vetiver, sandalwood and musk create depth. Always ahead of the interactive game, Calvin Klein has created a hashtag, #the2ofus, so customers can share their experiences through social media. rd

With its delicious cakes and inventive chocolates, D端sseldorf is the

HEAVEN unsung confectionery utopia of Germany, says Josh Sims

onventional wisdom has it that the world’s best chocolate comes from Belgium. But try telling that to the chocolatiers at Konditorei Heinemann in Düsseldorf. Locals ‒ and visitors with a sweet tooth ‒ have been enjoying its Champagne truffles since 1968. These are just one of a wide array of delicious Konditorei Heinemann specialities, including baumkuchen, or tree cake, named for its rings which resemble those of a tree trunk, and herrentorte, or men’s cake, a layered, bitter chocolate creation which the company invented. You can pick up chocolate beetles in May and, during asparagus season, enjoy white chocolate asparagus spears. Who needs real vegetables? The company has been experimenting with chocolate and cake since 1932, so the team has had plenty of time to practise: no one more so than Heinz-Richard Heinemann, its creative head. He is the son of Hermann and Johanna Heinemann, who launched the company from their then small bakery in nearby Mönchengladbach. Heinemann recalls how he would help in the bakery, the store or the café after school. Whatever he did, he says ‘it was always connected to work – but never stressful. It was always playful and beautiful.’

More than half of the recipes used at Konditorei Heinemann have remained unchanged for decades – and most are kept secret

As a small boy, coming home to a world of chocolate must have been heavenly for Heinneman, though he was careful to ration his own children’s intake. When they were three years old he started to give them a small piece of dark chocolate a couple of times a week. He says it was an education in appreciating cocoa quality rather than indulging in quantity. Not that Heinemann himself didn’t pay his dues in terms of education: he was apprenticed to master confectioner Robert Mojonnier in Lausanne for three years; the kind of hard but rewarding learning process that, he notes, is rarely followed today, especially in his field. That old-school attitude feeds into Konditorei Heinemann’s approach to making its confections. In fact, more than half of the recipes it uses are unchanged since the early

20th century and most are as secret today as they were then. ‘It’s important to me that we are not expensive,’ says Heinemann. He points out that, per 100 grammes, Konditorei Heinemann’s prices are little different to supermarket chocolate prices. The important difference, though, is that Konditorei Heinemann’s products are handmade from fresh ingredients. ‘We process unadulterated food,’ he says, pointing out that the company does not use the additives that are often included to extend the shelf life of other foods. ‘We don’t use industrially prefabricated commodities. The large amount of fruit, such as cherries, strawberries and raspberries, that we need, we buy from farmers and freeze ourselves. Apples

for our apple pies are freshly peeled each day. We make all our chocolates and truffles freshly each day, too.’ The customers, he says, tend to eat them very fresh as well. German chancellors, Helmuts Schmidt and Kohl among them, were said to be devoted to the company’s Champagne truffles. After a five-year study and 57,000 samples, the Club des Croqueurs de Chocolat du Japon actually named them the best in the world. Pope Benedict XVI preferred Heinemann’s stollen, or fruit bread. There are several branches of Konditorei Heinemann in Düsseldorf but it is far from being the city’s only purveyor of fine chocolates and cakes. Take, for example, Otto Bittner, which celebrated its 110th anniversary in 2015. This company also offers a delicious line

of Champagne truffles, and its nutty black diamond truffle and Jan Wellem chocolate balls are among its biggest hits. The Mailänder (Milanese) marzipan cake and Schwarzwälder kirschtorte (Black Forest gateau, made with cherries) are among its spectacular creations. Those who want to sample the hard stuff should visit the Gut & Gerne chocolate shop, which offers 200 varieties of what it calls its ‘chocolate treasures’, from top international brands including Domori, Valrhona and Amedei, and those such as Maglio and Dolfin which are appreciated by connoisseurs. But then there are plenty of connoisseurs in Düsseldorf. Perhaps this is small wonder given that, much like afternoon tea in England, kaffee und kuchen – coffee with cake or chocolate – is a much-loved ritual in Germany. It’s an indulgent combination that offers the twin hit of both sugar and caffeine: which is exactly what you need to get you back on your feet and off to the next confectioner’s

THE PLACE TO BE Vibrant Unterbilk is a must-visit area for anyone exploring D端sseldorf. Ginger Rose Clark takes a tour

52 | F E AT U R E S

As you move away from the riverfront, the scenery starts to change. Buildings designed by renowned contemporary architects are replaced with an older residential setting. Through the centre of it all runs Lorettostrasse, a tree-lined avenue that gives a taste of the wide variety of boutiques and cosy eateries you can find in the area. Locals rave about the sesame gelato from Gelateria, an ice-cream parlour that was around long before Unterbilk became fashionable. Uwe van Afferden is a menswear shop with a focus on retro style, stocking labels from Nudie Jeans to Schott, while Modlord caters to those with a taste for British fashion. Also on Lorettostrasse is Bittersüss & Edelweiss, a must-visit for chocolate lovers. Opened by chocolatier Kathrin Lohaus in September 2015, the store sells artisanal chocolates, handmade with high-quality ingredients. Lohaus is quick to highlight what makes the neighbourhood stand out.

ocated to the south of Düsseldorf’s city centre, next to the river Rhine, Unterbilk is an up-and-coming area. Over the past few decades, the neighbourhood has seen rapid evolution. Once home to factory workers, it became a student hub in the 1990s and is now a fashionable area popular with young families. The newly developed Medienhafen harbour area on the edge of Unterbilk is a great place to start exploring the neighbourhood. A walk along the Rheinuferpromenade – Rhine Promenade – allows you to take in the ultramodern buildings and stunning riverfront vistas. The Medienhafen also offers plenty of opportunities for eating out, from the Michelin-starred Berens am Kai restaurant to more casual burger joints. For commanding views over the Rhine, head to Pebble’s Terrace at the Hyatt Regency Düsseldorf hotel, which serves grilled food and refreshing drinks throughout the summer months.

The history of Unterbilk is still visible today, although its former warehouses and factories, once hives of industrial activity, have been transformed into exciting new retail spaces ‘Unterbilk has changed a lot over the past few years. Its independent retailers are a beacon of individuality, shops which one can’t necessarily find in the city centre any more,’ she explains. A short walk through the neighbourhood is all it takes to see that Unterbilk is indeed a haven for small, local businesses and that Bittersüss & Edelweiss isn’t the only one showing an independent spirit. Wander just a little way from Lorettostrasse and you’ll find Wandel Antik, crammed to the brim with antique treasures. Less than five minutes’ walk away, Hab & Gut will satisfy the needs of those with a penchant for interior décor, offering ceramics, candles, stationery and homewares. The history of Unterbilk is still visible today, although the warehouses and factories, once hives of industrial activity, no longer serve their original purpose. Instead, they’ve been transformed into exciting new retail spaces such as Taste Greece. Here, founders Nadia Challah and Giorgos Pachiadakis personally source quality foods from Greek producers. The finest olive oils, wild capers from the Cyclades, Greek mountain teas and aromatic wild fig jam are just some of the delectable products on offer. The team’s main focus is on wholesale Above (from top): Bittersüss and Edelweiss chocolate truffles; Wandel Antik; Hab & Gut

business, but the shop also opens to the public twice a week and occasionally hosts events. Challah and Pachiadakis know Unterbilk inside out, having been residents for over 20 years. They’ve seen the area become the buzzing place it is today and know exactly what their clients are looking for. ‘Our warehouse is very nice and the layout is authentic and full of love. Many people have had enough of over-stylised shops; they prefer something simple, authentic and cosy,’ they explain. ‘Here at Taste Greece, you get the feeling you’re among friends.’ A few doors down is ELA Selected Clothing, a mainstay of Düsseldorf fashion.

A short walk through the neighbourhood is all it takes to show that Unterbilk is a haven for small, local businesses Founded by Gabriela Holscher-Di Marco in 1977, it’s a concept store with a rich history – famous bands such as Kraftwerk and Die Toten Hosen have all sourced outfits here. The store moved to Unterbilk in 2011, where HolscherDi Marco found ‘the ideal place for her vision’ in the Liesegang-Fabrik, a former factory that she chose for ‘its close proximity to the many artists, designers, creatives working in the area, as well as the cafés, restaurants, galleries and boutiques.’ Inside the sleek white warehouse space, customers will find collections by independent designers as well as established labels, from

ultra-cool Danish label Henrik Vibskov to Holscher-Di Marco’s own line. Away from the mainstream atmosphere of the city centre, Unterbilk is a thriving neighbourhood. Its status as a fashionable area may be recently acquired, but businesses have been quietly congregating here for years and the area is filled with things to discover. It’s hardly surprising then that, according to Nadia Challah, ‘It’s not just local residents that go out and shop in the district; people from all over the city now come to Unterbilk.’ A trip to Düsseldorf isn’t complete without a visit to this vibrant area

TABLE TALK Düsseldorf’s fast food scene has undergone a gourmet makeover, as Isabella Redmond Styles discovers

Step into one of Düsseldorf’s favourite restaurants and you could be forgiven for thinking that you’ve taken a trip across the Atlantic. Many of the city’s most popular eateries are looking stateside for inspiration, while making the most of regional ingredients. Düsseldorf’s adventurous chefs have travelled the globe in search of the secrets behind the perfect hamburger, generally acknowledged as an American invention despite the German-sounding name, and the results are certainly tasty. You may prefer a classic burger made with locally reared dry-aged beef and served with fresh toppings sourced from the surrounding region, or something a little more exotic, reimagined with inventive fusion favours. Burgers aren’t the only north American delicacies on ofer; barbecue and Canadian poutine are also on the menu. In Düsseldorf fast food is the new fne dining. globalblue.com

FRITTENWERK Frittenwerk is committed to making fast food that’s as fresh as it is delicious. The restaurant works closely with local suppliers and thoughtful touches like homemade dips and fresh herb garnishes have locals coming back again and again. The centrally located beer garden is also an excellent spot in which to pass a warm summer evening. The house speciality here is poutine, a Canadian dish with a base of French fries and cheese curds topped with a gravy style

sauce. The classic Quebec and Montreal versions are impressively authentic. Other favourites include the barbecue pulled pork poutine served with homemade coleslaw and the Tijuana street fries, which are garlic fries with homemade guacamole, sour cream and tomatoes.

BUTCH BECKER

Butch Becker founders Eldad SchĂśnfeld and Christopher Schlechter wanted to create a perfect burger in which you can taste every ingredient. Having travelled the world studying the art of the patty, the duo established Butch Becker with the premise that everything should be both fresh and handmade. Enjoy an appetite-whetting cocktail such as a Ginger Punch or Fruit Cup before tucking into mini ribs with a honey jasmine glaze, or light and aromatic Vietnamese summer rolls. The deli burgers, which are highly recommended, include the Surf & Turf, which combines shrimp, avocado and a mango chilli chutney, and Into The Blue, a patty topped with Roquefort and pear poached in port wine.

What’s Beef is known and loved locally for its top quality, gastronomic approach to the classic burger and fries. Diners can expect premium ingredients such as locally reared beef, while crispy beef salami is used in place of bacon. Soft, buttery buns are baked in house and tasty toppings include organic ketchup, pickles, locally grown lettuce, tomato and onions. Owner Selim Varol sampled over 150 burgers from around the world before settling on his perfect version for What’s Beef and believes that a mouthful of the restaurant’s patties will transport diners to New York. What’s Beef, Immermannstrasse 24, 40210 Düsseldorf, +49 (0)211 3677 9196, whatsbeef.de

GRINDHOUSE Grindhouse was inspired by the impressive burgers on offer in London and New York. Ingredients are paramount, including freshly baked buns and the region’s best homegrown beef and visitors

are encouraged to customise their burgers. Start with the delicious wasabi shrimp or crispy onion rings, served with a sweet chilli mayo. Then move on to one of the dry-aged beefburgers, such as the Smokey BBQ which is topped with caramelised onions, cheddar, smoked bacon and

barbecue sauce. Discerning eaters should try one of the entrecôte gourmet burgers, which include the aptly named Truffle Heaven. Grindhouse, Bankstrasse 83, 40476 Düsseldorf, +49 (0)211 5145 5606, grindhouseburgers.de

TRANSLATIONS РУССКИЙ ПЕРЕВОД 42: Sweet Heaven

Сладкие Истории Кондитерская культура Дюссельдорфа, знаменитая своими тортами и оригинальным шоколадом, до сих пор остается невоспетой, – говорит Джош Симс Как полагают многие, лучший в мире шоколад производится в Бельгии. Но не пытайтесь в этом уверить кондитеров из дюссельдорфской фабрики Konditorei Heinemann. Как местные, так и приезжие сладкоежки наслаждаются трюфелями этой марки с шампанским с 1968 года. Konditorei Heinemann предлагает широчайший ассортимент изделий, включая слоеный торт baumkuchen, названный так из-за сходства со спилом дерева, herrentorte или мужской торт, – слоеное кондитерское изделие из горького черного шоколада, изобретенное компанией. С наступлением весны в мае фабрика предлагает ряд сезонных шоколадных жуков, а с конца апреля до середины лета – конфеты из белого шоколада в виде спаржи. Фабрика экспериментирует с шоколадными конфетами и тортами начиная с 1932 года, так что у создателей было достаточное количество времени, чтобы отточить свое мастерство, не говоря уже о креативном директоре – Хайнц-Ричарде Хайнеммане. Он приходится сыном Германа и Иоганны Хайнеманн, которые создали фабрику на базе крохотной пекарни рядом с Мёнхенгладбахом. Хайнеманн часто вспоминает, как будучи еще школьником, он помогал в пекарне и магазине-кафе. Что бы он ни делал, по его словам, было «всегда связано с работой, но при этом он нисколько не чувствовал стресса. Это было забавно и интересно». Для маленького мальчика жизнь, окруженная сладостями, должна была быть globalblue.com

похожа на пребывание в раю, однако Хайннеман признается, что рацион своих собственных детей всегда контролировал. Когда им исполнилось три года, он стал давать им небольшие порции черного шоколада несколько раз в неделю. Он полагает, что это скорее был познавательный процесс и оценка качества, но ни в коем случае не потакание желаниям. Хайннеману и самому довелось побывать учеником. Три года подряд он был подмастерьем профессионального кондитера из Лозанны. Такой опыт был не из легких, однако многое из того, что Хайннеман узнал за время обучения, он до сих пор применяет на практике. В его работе заметно ощущается влияние старой школы. Кроме того, больше половины всех рецептов фабрики не менялись с начала 20 века, а их значительная часть, как и раньше, держится в строжайшем секрете. «Я горжусь тем, что мы можем придерживаться низкой ценовой политики», – говорит Хайннеман. По его словам, цены на продукцию Konditorei Heinemann практически не отличаются от цен в супермаркете. Важным отличием при этом является то, что продукция Konditorei Heinemann всегда свежая и производится исключительно вручную. «Мы используем только натуральные компоненты», говорит он, подчеркивая, что кондитеры не добавляют в изделия химические вещества, призванные продлить товарам жизнь. «Производственная линия полностью лишена полуфабрикатов. Все фрукты, которые мы используем, включая вишню, клубнику и малину, мы закупаем напрямую у фермеров и в последствии сами замораживаем. Для приготовления яблочных пирогов мы каждый день чистим и режем свежие яблоки. Каждое утро на прилавки мы выкладываем свежий шоколад и трюфельные конфеты». По словам кондитера, покупатели также стремятся съесть их пока они еще свежие.

Говорят, что немецкие канцлеры, включая Гельмута Шмидта и Гельмута Коля, большие поклонники трюфелей со вкусом шампанского. После пяти лет исследований и 57 000 продегустированных трюфелей «клуб пожирателей шоколада» (Club des Croqueurs de Chocolat du Japon) назвал их лучшими в мире. Римский папа Бенедикт XVI всегда любил штоллены Heinemann и фруктовый хлеб. В Дюссельдорфе работает несколько филиалов Konditorei Heinemann, однако на этом кондитерская карта города не заканчивается. Взять, к примеру, Otto Bittner – компанию, которая в 2015 году отпраздновала свое 110-летие. В ее ассортименте, конечно же, присутствуют знаменитые трюфельные конфеты с шампанским, а также ореховые трюфеля и шоколадные шарики Jan Wellem. Большой популярностью у покупателей пользуется марципановый торт Mailänder marzipantorte и Шварцвальдский вишневый торт со взбитыми сливками Schwarzwälder kirschtorte. Те, кому нравятся сладости по-крепче могут наведаться в магазин шоколада Gut & Gern, предлагающий более 200 разновидностей «шоколадных сокровищ», – как их здесь называют. Представленные бренды включают: Domori, Valrhona и Amedei, а также такие популярные среди местных марки, как Maglio и Dolfin. К слову, поклонников шоколада в Дюссельдорфе хоть отбавляй, что и не удивительно. Возможно, как англичане не могут обойтись без чая, так и немцы считают своим долгом выпить кофе с тортом или шоколадом. Этот своего рода ритуал, называемый kaffee und kuchen, дает участникам двойную дозу сахара и кофеина. Это именно то, что вам необходимо, чтобы встать на ноги и отправиться в следующую кондитерскую.

50: The Place To Be

Место Под Солнцем Энергичный район Unterbilk в Дюссельдорфе отличное место для знакомства с городом, – считает Джинджер Роуз Кларк Район Unterbilk, расположенный к югу от от центра Дюссельдорфа, рядом с рекой Рейн, с каждым годом набирает все большую популярность среди туристов. Всего за несколько десятилетий здесь произошли колоссальные перемены. Когда-то этот район принадлежал рабочим фабрик и заводов, в 1990-х годах здесь начали селиться студенты, а сейчас Unterbilk облюбовала молодежь. äучшая отправная точка для экскурсии по Дюссельдорфу это Medienhafen – новый квартал на набережной Рейна, на границе с Unterbilk. Прогулка по набережной Rheinuferpromenade позволит вам полюбоваться живописными видами Рейна и рассмотреть в деталях ультрасовременные творения немецких архитекторов. Кроме того в Medienhafen найдется предостаточно возможностей, чтобы вкусно перекусить, от удостоенного мишленской звезды ресторана Berens am Kai до скромных закусочных. Чтобы заодно сделать красивую панораму Рейна, отправляйтесь в Pebble’s Terrace в отеле Hyatt Regency Düsseldorf. В летние месяцы здесь вам предложат большой выбор мяса на гриле и освежающих напитков. По мере того, как вы будете продвигаться в центр города, архитектура будет меняться у вас на глазах. Все реже появляются здания современных архитекторов и все больше открывается картина старого города. Неподалеку расположен широкий проспект Lorettostrasse, знаменитый своими модными бутиками и уютными ресторанчиками. Здесь большой популярностью у местных пользуется кунжутное мороженое из кафе

PHOTO: HYATT REGENCY DUSSELDORF/GERRIT MEIER

Gelateria, открытого задолго до того, как Unterbilk приобрел свою славу. В магазине мужской одежды Uwe van Afferden, специализирующемся на ретро-стиле, можно найти коллекции редких брендов от Nudie Jeans до Schott, в то время, как бутик Modlord больше подойдет поклонникам британского стиля. Также на Lorettostrasse расположился кондитерский магазин Bittersüss & Edelweiss. Основанный Катрин Лохаус в сентябре 2015 года, магазин предлагает посетителям изумительный артизанский шоколад, сделанный вручную из первоклассных ингредиентов. Лохаус не перестает гордиться своим районом. «За последние несколько лет Unterbilk преобразился до неузнаваемости. Здесь открылось множество независимых магазинов, таких, которые больше не встретишь в центре», – поясняет она. Достаточно несколько минут пройтись по местным улочкам, как становится ясно, что Unterbilk действительно уникальное место с массой небольших, но оригинальных globalblue.com

магазинчиков и кафе, и Bittersüss & Edelweiss не единственный пример независимого духа. Если немного отойти от Lorettostrasse, то можно наткнуться на антикварную сокровищницу Wandel Antik. Еще в пяти минутах ходьбы находится интересный магазин предметов интерьера Hab & Gut. Здесь вы найдете керамические изделия, свечи, канцелярские принадлежности и товары для дома. Элементы исторического прошлого Unterbilk можно заметить и сегодня, но некогда оживленные фабрики и склады больше не служат своей изначальной цели. Взамен они были переоборудованы под новые торговые центры, такие как Taste Greece. Основатели Надя Чаллах и Гиоргос Пачадакис лично занимаются поиском качественных продуктов питания среди греческих производителей. Отборное оливковое масло, дикие каперсы с островов Киклады, греческие чаи из горных трав и ароматный джем из инжира – лишь малая часть того, чем можно запастись в этом раю деликатесов. В основном магазин

занимается оптовой торговлей, но дважды в неделю его двери открыты для всех посетителей. Прожив в районе Unterbilk более 20 лет Чаллах и Пачадакис знакомы с ним не понаслышке. На их глазах район стал тем, чем он является сейчас – стильным, притягательным местом с неповторимой атмосферой. «У нас замечательный магазин с приятным и непретенциозным интерьером. Многие устали от чересчур замысловатого дизайна и предпочитают нечто простое, аутентичное и уютное, – поясняет она. – Здесь в Taste Greece вы сможете почувствовать себя в окружении друзей». Практически по соседству находится один из культовых дюссельфдорских бутиков – ELA Selected Clothing. Этот концептуальный магазин, основанный Габриелой Хольшер-Ди Марко в 1977 году, имеет довольно долгую историю. Среди его клиентов было немало музыкальных групп, включая Kraftwerk и Die Toten Hosen. Магазин переехал в Unterbilk в 2011 году, когда Хольшер-Ди Марко нашла идеальное место на территории Liesegang-Fabrik – бывшей фабрики, которая, по ее словам, находится «рядом с местом работы многих художников, дизайнеров и других творческих личностей, и вблизи многих кафе, ресторанов, галерей и бутиков». Снежно-белый интерьер магазина скрывает коллекции независимых дизайнеров, а также всемирно известных брендов, включая ультрастильную датскую Henrik Vibskov и собственную линию одежды Хольшер-Ди Марко. Unterbilk, расположенный вдали от мейнстримной атмосферы центра города, постоянно растет и развивается. Возможно, свой статус фешенебельного района он приобрел совсем недавно, но слава о нем уже давно распространилась далеко за пределы Дюссельдорфа. По словам Нади Чаллах, «шоппингом здесь предпочитают заниматься не только местные; в Unterbilk приезжают люди со всех районов города». И правда, без посещения этих мест путешествие в Дюссельдорф вряд ли можно будет назвать завершенным.

1968年起就在此购买香槟松露巧克力。而这只是 Konditorei Heinemann众多特色美味中的冰山一角，包括baumkuchen或称年轮蛋糕，因其形似树桩年轮而得名，还有herrentorte即绅士蛋糕，是该公司发明的一款多层黑巧克力甜品。在五月份，顾客们可以找到巧克力甲虫，在芦笋上市的季节，这里则提供白巧克力芦笋。谁还想吃真正的蔬菜？该公司自1932年成立以来，持续对巧克力和蛋糕进行试验，团队拥有足够的时间积累经验：其中最资深的自然是创意领袖Heinz-Richard Heinemann。他是公司创始人Hermann与Johanna Heinemann的儿子，夫妻俩以附近城镇 Mönchengladbach的一间小面包房起家。Heinemann仍记得小时候放学后在自家面包房、商店与咖啡店里帮忙的情景。无论做什么，他表示“总是与工作有关——但从不让人感觉有压力。因为过程总是那么有趣、充满美感。” 对还是小男孩时候的Heinemann而言，回家就沉浸在巧克力中是梦幻般的体验，虽然他谨慎地控制自己孩子的甜点摄入量。当他们三岁时，他就开始每周给他们吃几次小块黑巧克力。他表示这是一种对于可可质量的鉴赏教育，而非纵情过量食用。在学习方面Heinemann自己也下过苦功：他曾经师从糕点大师Robert Mojonnier在洛桑当了三年学徒；当时学习过程中吃的那份苦，他指出，如今已很少有人能承受，特别在他的领域。这种老派的态度体现在Konditorei Heinemann的甜品制作中。事实上，超过一半的配方自20世纪初起就未曾变化，并且多数时至今日还是不宣之秘。 “定价不高对我们来说很重要， ”Heinemann表示。他指出，每100克Konditorei Heinemann巧克力的价格与超市里的巧克力并无太大差异。虽然其中有个重要差异，即Konditorei Heinemann的产品都是手工制作、新鲜无比的。 “我们制作纯粹的食物， ” 他表示，并指出本公司不使用食品中常见的用以延长保质期的添加剂。 “我们不使用工业预制半成品。我们需要的大量水果如樱桃、草莓和树莓，都是从农民手中直接购买并冷冻的。我们的苹果派中使用的苹果是每天新鲜去皮的。我们也会每天制作新鲜的巧克力和松露巧克力。”他说，顾客们也喜欢吃新鲜的。德国领导人Helmuts Schmidt与Kohl等权贵据说也是该公司香槟巧克力的忠实拥趸。在历时五年研究了57,000款产品后，日本巧克力品鉴俱乐部（Club des Croqueurs de Chocolat du Japon）将其选为全球最佳。教皇本笃十六世偏爱Heinemann 的stollen，即德式水果蛋糕。Konditorei Heinemann在杜塞尔多夫拥有多间门店，却并非是城中精致巧克力和蛋糕文化的唯一传播者。以2015年刚度过110岁诞辰的Otto Bittner为例。该公司同样贩售一系列美味的香槟松露巧克力， globalblue.com

其坚果黑钻松露巧克力与Jan Wellem巧克力球均为热门产品。在更为吸睛的蛋糕系列中，则包括 Mailänder（即米兰）杏仁蛋糕与Schwarzwälder kirschtorte（黑森林樱桃奶油蛋糕）。想要品尝硬质巧克力的人们不妨造访Gut & Gerne巧克力店，这里贩售200多种产品并自诩为“ 巧克力宝藏” ，从国际顶级品牌Domori、Valrhona与 Amedei，到备受鉴赏家们推崇的Maglio 与 Dolfin。杜塞尔多夫的巧克力鉴赏家真是太多了。或许这有些让人称奇，好比下午茶之于英国，以蛋糕或巧克力配咖啡是德国人的生活方式，它的德国名字叫 kaffee und kuchen，是一种提供糖分与咖啡因双重冲击的享受过程：恰好能让你恢复元气，移步前往下一家甜品店。

50: The Place To Be 理想去处生机勃勃的下比尔克区是游览杜塞尔多夫不可错过的地区。请跟随Ginger Rose Clark一同探索地处杜塞尔多夫市中心南部，毗邻莱茵河的下比尔克区（Unterbilk）是一片新兴的热闹城区。在过去几十年中，该区域发生了巨大的变化。这里曾经是工厂工人们的居住区，但在1990年代成为学生们的集散地，如今已成为深受年轻家庭喜爱的时尚区域。新近开发出的媒体港区处于下比尔克区的边缘位置，这里是探索这片区域的绝佳起点。沿着 Rheinuferpromenad——莱茵长廊漫步——可以同时欣赏到后现代摩登建筑与美丽河滨景观。媒体港区同时有诸多食肆可供选择，既有米其林星级餐厅 Berens am Kai，也有更为休闲的汉堡连锁店。想要饱览莱茵河畔风光，不妨前往杜塞尔多夫凯悦酒店的Pebble’s Terrace，整个夏季这里都会提供炙烤菜品与清凉饮品。步履渐渐远离河岸，景观也随之改变。周围建筑慢慢由著名当代建筑师设计的摩登风格，转变为年份久远的老房子。Lorettostrasse大街从区域中心穿过，这条绿树成荫的大道上，林立着本区域内形形色色的精品店铺与舒适餐馆。在下比尔克区变成潮流胜地之前，当地人就开始为这里Gelateria冰淇淋店的芝麻吉拉多冰淇淋而疯狂。此处的Uwe van Afferden是一间专注经营复古风格男装的店铺，贩售从Nudie Jeans到Schott等品牌，另一间店铺 Modlord则主打英伦时尚风格。同样坐落于Lorettostrasse大街的还有巧克力爱好者的必访之地Bittersüss & Edelweiss。该店由巧克力专家Kathrin Lohaus 于2015年9月创立，出售以高品质原材料手工制成的精美巧克力。Lohaus快人快语地指出该地区之所以脱颖而出的原因。 “下比

几户之隔就是ELA Selected Clothing，杜塞尔多夫时尚圈的主力。这间由Gabriela Holscher-Di Marco于1977年创建的概念店，有着丰富的历史—— Kraftwerk与Die Toten Hosen等著名乐队都曾来这里选购服装。该店于2011年迁至下比尔克区，这里被Holscher-Di Marco视为“最符合自身愿景的理想区域” ，她选中了前身为工厂的LiesegangFabrik，因其“贴近本地区众多艺术家、设计师、创意工作者们，同时靠近各色咖啡馆、餐馆、画廊和精品店。”在这座时髦的白色仓库空间内，顾客们可同时找到独立设计师与成熟品牌的产品，既有超酷丹麦品牌Henrik Vibskov，亦有Holscher-Di Marco 的自有品牌。远离市中心的主流氛围，下比尔克区有着自己跳动的脉搏。虽然只是近年才拥有潮流特区的身份，但小企业们已悄悄在此聚集多年，这里有着许许多多可供探索的角落。所以这里今日的繁荣也丝毫不足为奇，正如Nadia Challah所言， “这里并非只有附近居民前来购物；人们从全城各处来到下比尔克。”如果不来这片生机勃勃的区域一探，杜塞尔多夫之行将是不完整的。

尔克区在过去几年中发生了翻天覆地的变化。这里的独立零售商是个性的标志，如今这种店铺在市中心区域都不一定能找到了， ”她解释道。只需在下比尔克区徜徉片刻，便不难发现这里确实是小型本土零售业的避风港，Bittersüss & Edelweiss也不是唯一具有独立精神的店铺。离开 Lorettostrasse稍行几步，便能找到古玩珍品堆至墙角的Wandel Antik。距此处步行路程还不到五分钟的Hab & Gut，则能满足人们对室内装饰的所有需求，这里贩卖陶瓷、蜡烛、文具与家居用品等商品。下比尔克区的历史今日仍旧依稀可见，虽然那些仓库与工厂已不再进行工业化生产，而是被改造成激动人心的新型零售空间，例如Taste Greece。该店创始人Nadia Challah与Giorgos Pachiadakis亲自从希腊生产商处采购高品质食物。最上等的橄榄油、Cyclades野生刺山柑、希腊高山茶与芬芳扑鼻的野生无花果酱，只是此处所售美食的冰山一角。团队主要侧重于批发，但门店每周两次向公众开放，并偶尔举办活动。 Challah和Pachiadakis对下比尔克区知根知底，他们在这里已经居住超过20年。他们见证着该地区变成如今热闹的样子，并深知自己的顾客需要什么。 “我们的仓库非常棒，摆设陈列原汁原味，充满热忱。许多人已经厌倦了过度装饰的商店；他们更偏爱简单、真实、感觉舒心的东西， ”他们解释道。 “在 Taste Greece，你会感觉自己如身处朋友之中般放松。”
