Special Bratwurst - Exceptional gourmet bratwurst made from crab apple
Discover the world of exceptional sausages at DER HOLZAPFEL – where traditional craftsmanship meets culinary innovation. Our specialty sausages are far more than just ordinary grilling sausages: they are true taste experiences that take your palate on a journey around the world. From the fiery Jalapeño Cheddar Griller to the Mediterranean Sicilian Bratwurst and the exotic Boerewors from Africa – each of our gourmet sausages tells its own culinary story.
International sausage variety meets Swabian butcher tradition
Our special sausages combine the best of both worlds: the decades of expertise of our butcher shop Holzapfel in Mössingen with international flavors that will awaken your taste buds. The Tussi Griller delights with its unique seasoning, while the Spencer Style Griller brings American BBQ to your home. The Hot Salsiccia brings Italian flair to your grill, and the Gyros Griller with feta will transport you straight to Greece.
We are particularly proud of our creative fusions, such as the Döner Griller, which brings oriental flavors to a sausage-like form, or the Popeye Griller with spinach for those who prefer healthy ingredients even when grilling. The Brisket Cheese Griller combines American BBQ know-how with creamy cheese, while our Jelly Beans Griller surprises with its sweet and spicy notes.
Quality meets innovation - artisanal perfection in every sausage
Each of our specialty sausages is crafted according to traditional butcher's methods in our workshop in Mössingen. We use only high-quality, regionally sourced meat and combine it with carefully selected spices and ingredients. The art lies in achieving the perfect balance: each sausage must develop its characteristic flavor without masking the quality of the meat.
Our meat sommelier Patrick is constantly developing new flavors and perfecting existing recipes. This results in extraordinary creations such as the African Boerewors with its unique spice blend of chili, coriander and cardamom, or the Swabian Griller, which combines Swabian tradition with modern taste.
Perfect for any barbecue occasion and any season
Our special sausages are the perfect accompaniment to your barbecue, a cozy dinner, or any special occasion. Whether you're planning a relaxed barbecue with the family or want to impress guests with exceptional flavors, our gourmet sausages are guaranteed to be a conversation starter around the grill.
The different flavors allow you to host an international sausage tasting: Start with the mild Swabian Griller, work your way up to the spicy Sicilian Bratwurst, and finally to the fiery Jalapeño Cheddar Griller. Each variety brings its own unique flavor profile and adds variety to your grilling.
Perfect preparation for maximum enjoyment
For the best flavor, we recommend gentle cooking over medium heat. Our special sausages develop their full range of aromas when cooked slowly and evenly. Whether on a gas grill, charcoal grill, or in a pan – the important thing is that the sausage is browned evenly on all sides without burning.
Frequently asked questions about our special bratwurst
Which specialty sausages are most popular with customers?
Our bestsellers are definitely the Jalapeño Cheddar Griller with its perfect balance of spice and creamy cheese, the Spencer Style Griller for BBQ lovers, and the exotic Boerewors for those who want to discover new flavors. The Tussi Griller and the Sicilian Bratwurst are also very popular with our regular customers.
How spicy are the special bratwursts with chili and jalapeño?
Our hot varieties, such as the Jalapeño Cheddar Griller and Hot Salsiccia, are designed with a pleasant, medium heat. They add a kick without being overpowering. The Boerewors has a milder, yet complex flavor with exotic African spices. For those who prefer less heat, we recommend the Swabian Griller or Popeye Griller.
Can the special bratwurst also be prepared in a pan?
Absolutely! All our special sausages are excellent when pan-fried over medium heat. It's important to brown them slowly on all sides so the flavors can develop fully. The Gyros Griller with Feta and the Döner Griller, in particular, develop their Mediterranean and oriental seasonings perfectly when pan-fried.
How long do the special bratwursts keep?
Our fresh special bratwurst should be stored in the refrigerator at 2-4°C and consumed within 2-3 days. For longer storage, they can easily be frozen. They arrive slightly thawed and ready to use immediately, or can be frozen directly.
What makes the Special Bratwursts so special compared to regular bratwursts?
The key difference lies in the unique combination of traditional butchery craftsmanship and innovative, international flavors. While regular bratwursts usually use classic German spices, our special bratwursts bring aromas from around the world: African spice blends, Italian herbs, Greek feta, or American BBQ notes.
Which special bratwurst is best suited for grilling beginners?
For grilling beginners, we recommend the Swabian Griller or the Spencer Style Griller. Both are not too spicy, have a well-balanced flavor, and are very forgiving during preparation. They even develop a good flavor when slightly overheated and are therefore perfect for first grilling experiments.
Our quality promise for your special bratwurst
At DER HOLZAPFEL, quality and taste are our top priorities. Our special sausages are made exclusively from high-quality, regionally sourced meat. We avoid artificial flavorings and instead rely on natural spices and ingredients. Every batch is personally inspected by our meat sommelier, Patrick, before it leaves our premises.
