Taste In Hahndorf

Taste In Hahndorf is one of the few shops in touristy, German Hahndorf that are actually useful and where you can at least consider buying something. It’s a lovely deli with a great selection and I would certainly spend more money here if it wasn’t just quite so expensive.
Great range of olive oils, chutneys, jam and pastes. They also stock dried meats, olives, biscuits, sweets, cheese… pretty much everything you would expect from a deli. Worth browse, even if it’s just for the ‘mmh’ factor and you can’t actually afford it.

This place is absolutely awesome. If you’ve got some cash.
It’s pricey, but the products sold here are premium. It’s a neat and well set-​out store, but when it’s busy, it doesn’t take much to get crowded. There’s all manner of goods available here, like coffees, pastas (which are actually a pretty good deal, for premium pasta that’s infused with a few different flavours in a half kilo bag for about $ 7.50), jams, marmalades, biscuits, different meat products, and so on.
It’s an awesome place. Every time I pass Hahndorf, this is one of the first places I check out. Did I mention that it’s awesome?

This place is like a gourmet supermarket minus the trolleys. and you can eat here too which confuses me because where are they hiding a kitchen?
I like to come in here at those times when hunger supersedes pricing so I can ogle all the fine produce and maybe even munch on a peperoni stick.
All produce is sourced from SA, mainly the Adelaide hills which I think is the best you can get anyhow. I’m talking cured meats, olives, cheese, confectionary, Beerenberg jams and toppings, it’s a slice of finger food heaven.
As I allured to before though, it’s a little pricey so depends how hungry you really are or what occasion you are buying for. I guess sometimes its worth paying that little bit extra so you can have authentic German sausage for dinner tonight…

As much as I am a Ninja-​Samurai, I am also German… well, part German in anycase (insert generic Ali G shlong Joke here). Needless to say I feel quite at home in Hahndorf, and one of my stops every time I visit (after an insane amount of Wurst at the Inn) is Taste In Hahndorf.
Located literally in front of the Hahndorf Inns car park, Taste has a bit of everything good that you can find in the region. From chocolates to jams, pickles and cheese, you can find a treasure trove of top notch grub and some really unexpected stuff to boot! For example, in the fridge you can find chocolate coated apples on sticks (toffee apple style) that look spectacular.
The one major down side to the store is the prices, they are a bit on the steep side (the apples are $ 15 a pop!). There is definately some top quality goods on offer, but I have most certainly seen them cheaper at other venues.
I have, of course, left the best for last. The range of Salamis, Metwursts and dried meats (Jerky is my proton pills!) is really good, still pricey but worth every penny!

This shop contains all the gourmet goodies you could wish for.
The shop showcases the finest produce South Australia has to offer, from the Fleurieu Peninsula, Barossa Valley and, of course, there’s plenty of fare from the Adelaide Hills,.
There’s really good cheese, preserves such as jam, honey, nuts, dried fruit, olives, sauce and some fantastic olive oil. But what people mainly come here for are the spicy mettwurst German sausages.
My meat-​loving mate gorged on the stuff from this shop because it was only a few bucks for a stick. She loves it, particularly if it’s washed down with some good, German beer.
