My favs are anything Sternecker, Poschl Sudfrucht, and Poschl Doppelaroma.

I’ll second the Sudfrucht - it’s a favorite of mine that I don’t use often enough.

yeah Sternecker’s is amazing and perhaps underrated.
I prefer Bernard’s to Poschl, but still really like both brands

All of them are good. Poeschls are very oily. I find Sternecker overrated, but I know many here rate them the highest. Bernard are the best, but you cannot get them in bulk. Gekachelter Virginie is good, but not a schmalzler ;)

I never met a Schmalzler I didn’t like. caution they don’t store well for more than 3 years. something changes even stored in glass jars under controlled conditions. I believe it’s the grease that eventually turns. so don’t go hog wild buying Lbs of the stuff. I normally only use Schmalzlers in the cooler months of the year. They just don’t seem the same during warmer months.

@lunecat The Sterneckers and several of the Poschls are sold in bags so you can jar them up upon reception.

I just discovered schmalzlers last year. I’m disappointed to hear of their (in tobacco terms) short shelf life. I have not yet noticed changes in those I have stored in mason jars for ~8-10 months. I am thinking that if the weak link is the schmaltz substitute, then stocking up on Sternecker Echt Fresco Ungeffetet would still be ok. Can anyone verify that from experience?

I can take em or leave em to be honest. Generally I prefer the English style. I may well buy something again in future as an occasional treat, but not something I’m compelled to ensure I always have. Of course, tastes change too, so ask me again in five years :stuck_out_tongue:
