Culinary specialties from Zug
The 'Zuger Chriesi' (black cherries) are said to be the best. So it is hardly surprising that Zug has wonderful cherry specialties to offer such as Zuger Kirschtorte, Zuger Kirschstängeli, Zuger Kirsch and Zuger Eierkirsch.
The most famous Zug speciality is probably the Zuger Kirschtorte. This remained unchanged for a hundred years until the Zuger Kirsch ice cream cake was invented in the Guggital as a cold counterpart.
The invention of former chef Satha Satchithanantham quickly became the favorite dessert of many and impresses with a fine, genuine Japonais base, a wafer-thin layer of butter, cherry parfait followed by cherry parfait covering an airy sponge cake well soaked with Zuger Kirsch - a real treat.
Zug iced coffee is also particularly popular in Zug. It can absolutely compete with Viennese iced coffee and is particularly delicious in the Guggital with the homemade mocha ice cream.
Another Zug speciality is Perch Zuger style with a light white wine cream sauce.
But Zug has even more culinary delights to offer. The region is also known for its handmade chocolates, which are refined with Zuger Kirsch and are a perfect souvenir for gourmets.
An absolute highlight is the famous Zuger Kirsch, a clear cherry brandy distilled from the best Zug cherries. It is not only enjoyed neat, but also used in many regional recipes to give the dishes a special touch. Zuger Kirsch is a symbol of the region's culinary tradition and quality and a must for every visitor.
