Our suppliers

Only the best will do!

When it comes to sourcing our ingredients, we are extremely choosy. “We don’t buy anything that doesn’t 100% meet our requirements,” says the head of purchasing at Conditorei Coppenrath & Wiese. Because for us, purchasing isn’t about haggling over terms, conditions and every last penny; it’s about building long-term partnerships with our suppliers. It’s about relationships founded on mutual trust, quality and performance.
Our purchasing team scours the world to find the finest ingredients for our products:

• Dairy products for our Cream Desserts and all our Bakery Products are sourced locally, here in Northern Germany.
• The milk we use is always fresh full-cream milk. You’ll never find reconstituted milk from powder on our shopping list.
• Cream is one of our most important ingredients. We source it locally from a dairy nearby that delivers it fresh every day.
• Where would our Cheesecake be without our traditional soft cheese? It’s produced in the time-honoured fashion using 4kg milk to make 1kg of soft cheese. The effort certainly pays off: our cheese is much grainier, firmer and better quality than conventional equivalents made from skimmed milk.
• The fruits that go into our products grow in the best climates in the world. Our apples come either from a region of Northern Germany called the “Old Country” or from the Lake Constance area, near the border between Switzerland and Austria. Our miniature juicy raspberries ripen on sunny plantations in Chile, and our almonds grow on the plantations of California.
• We source all of our flour from controlled, integrated cultivation.
