The gingerbread spice is a spice mixture that is traditionally used in the preparation of the eponymous pastry. Nowadays, it is not only used in the production of the actual gingerbread, but also for other products, such as yogurt, chocolate, tea or coffee blends, which are to be given a seasonal, Christmassy-winter aroma.

The spice mixture goes perfectly with game, but also with a variety of desserts and fruits.
