The Wachau and its surrounding area are a real cockaigne for cooks and bon vivants. Anyone who has sampled “Marillen” (apricots) from different regions will immediately recognise the distinctiveness of the Wachau Marille. It is much sought after on account of its unique taste an now enjoys EU protection – both as a name and as a product: regardless of whether fresh from the tree, in dumplings, cakes and strudels, as a jam, compote or as a fruity, delicious schnapps. www.allesmarille.at
