A spice advent calendar for anyone who would rather unwrap new flavours than chocolate in December. Der Lütte by Ankerkraut has 24 doors, and behind each one sits a different spice blend in a sample pouch. Together the pouches hold 309 g, with individual portions ranging from 5 g to 22 g. The selection brings together chosen bestsellers and favourite blends in sample size, meant for tasting your way through and finding new favourites.

This advent calendar for grown-ups is more of a kitchen project than a sweet treat: you open a door, take out the sample pouch and think about what goes on the plate today. That makes it a gift for home cooks and food lovers, and it also works as a Secret Santa present or as a first taste of Ankerkraut. Der Lütte is the smallest of the three Ankerkraut advent calendars, alongside Anker Cube and Leuchtturm.

The selection covers the whole kitchen rather than one direction only. Meat and poultry get Magic Dust Rub, Pull that Piggy, Texas Chicken, Rouladen and Gyros, fish gets Nordic Fish. For vegetables and side dishes there are Pilzpfanne, Pommes Frites Salz, Süsskartoffel-Salz, Kürbis and Auflauf. Classics appear as Bolognese, Currywurst, Raclette and Gänse- und Entenbraten, while Apfelkuchen, Pumpkin Spice Latte and Coffee Cannonball cover the sweet side. Weihnachtspups, Kräutersalz, BBQ Butter, Hamburger Hafencurry, Bombay Chicken and Schafskäse & Tofu complete the set.

  • 24 doors, each with one spice blend in a sample pouch
  • 309 g of spice in total, pouches of 5 g to 22 g
  • Mint green box with grey copperplate illustrations and large door numbers
  • Motifs: whale, pufferfish, herring, stag, bell and the Ankerkraut logo
  • Blends for meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, classics and sweet dishes
  • Many blends contain mustard and/or celery, traces are possible

The mint green box is printed with grey copperplate illustrations: sea creatures such as whale, pufferfish and herring meet a stag and a bell. The door numbers are set large, so the door of the day is easy to spot.

According to the ingredient information, many blends contain mustard flour and/or celeriac, and traces of mustard and celery are possible. If you are giving it away, it is worth asking about allergies beforehand.

Decide the evening before what you are cooking the next day, and the blend of the day fits the menu rather than the other way round. On busy days, set the pouch aside and collect a few: after several doors you have a small choice to pick from. Make a note of the blends you like best, as favourites are also available from Ankerkraut in cork-top jars. A bottle of wine or a cookbook turns Der Lütte into a bigger present, and for the office it is small enough as a Secret Santa gift.

What is behind the 24 doors? Each door holds one spice blend in a sample pouch, 24 different blends with 309 g in total.

How much spice is in each pouch? Depending on the blend, the portions range from 5 g to 22 g.

Who is this advent calendar for? For home cooks and food lovers who want to try a new blend every day, and as a small gift.

Do the blends contain allergens? According to the ingredient information, many blends contain mustard and/or celery, and traces of both are possible.

And if I find a favourite blend? Ankerkraut also sells its blends in cork-top jars, so a favourite does not have to end with the calendar.
