"With Focus on traditions"

The Markt der Genuesse (Delicacies Market ) at Neustadt’s Herrenhof is the oldest specialities market in southern Germany and has since become a tradition in the region. In 2009 over 50 exhibitors, from food manufacturers and small companies, presented food specialities for the fourteenth time and we welcomed over 2,500 visitors. During the Pentecost’s long weekend, from 22nd to 24th May 2010, the delicacies market will again be offering its visitors the opportunity to inform themselves about the products, taste and purchase them.

A great importance is given to the products’ quality and variety. The selection includes meat and sausages, fresh fish, traditional pastries, dairy products, aromatic herbs and spices and also wines, spirits, tobacco products and a small selection of “healthy” products. In the heart of “Germany’s Tuscany” region, the market naturally offers a taste for Mediterranean specialities, such as homemade pasta, spicy oils and vinegars, and other southern delicacies. If you get appetite from smelling, tasting and looking, you should enjoy the varied range of freshly prepared food: from rustic Palatinate classics through to refined cuisine, as well as good palatinate wines, beers and soft drinks.
