CELEBRATING 35 SPECIALITIES Rüdesheim Coffee The name of Rüdesheim is linked not only to the Romantic Rhine and the famous German speciality Asbach but also to the Rüdesheim coffee speciali-ties. Rüdesheim coffee was developed in 1957 by Hans Karl Adam, a famous German television cook of the 1950s, specially for Asbach. It tastes best out of Original Rüdesheim Coffee Cups. Infuse three sugar cubes with 4 cl of well warmed Asbach Uralt, set it alight and keep stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Then fill up with hot coffee, set a swirl of sweetened whip-ped cream on top and sprinkle with bit-ter- sweet chocolate shavings. Rüdes-heim Espresso and Rüdesheim Iced Coffee also belong to this range of spe-cialities. You can buy the Original Rüdesheim Coffee Accessories in the Asbacher Visitors Centre. Asbach Chocolates Asbach Chocolates owe their creation in the 1920's to the fact that at that time ladies and alcohol could not be seen together in public. So the company founder, Hugo Asbach, simply invented Asbach Chocolate. The cold-casting method developed by Asbach himself, now protected around the world, took not just the ladies by storm, because Asbach chocolates are delicate masterpieces of the chocolate-maker's art. Today they are produced under licence to the family-run busin-ess of Reber at the Rüdesheimer Confiserie-Pralinen GmbH & Co KG. In recent years the chocolates have experienced an amazing revival. The latest product innovations are Asbach Minis and Asbach Cream Minis. You can find the whole range of Asbach chocolates in the Asbach Visitors Centre.
