DEAR GUEST,

SEHR VEREHRTE GÄSTE,

What kind of holiday destination do you want this year?

Quiet and relaxing? Or vibrant and bustling? In this issue we take a look at two very contrasting destinations to help you decide. Although very different in culture and surroundings, both Portorož and Jakarta share one thing in common: they are still largely undiscovered as holiday destinations. So, there’s lots of originality and charm to be uncovered!

wie möchten Sie Ihren Urlaub dieses Jahr genießen? Ruhig und entspannt? Oder lieber aufregend und dynamisch? Wir stellen Ihnen in dieser Ausgabe zwei Reiseziele vor, wie sie unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten, um Ihnen die Entscheidung zu erleichtern. Trotz der großen Ungleichheit in ihrer Kultur und Lage haben beide Orte, Portorož und Jakarta, eines gemeinsam: Beide sind als Reisedestination noch größtenteils unentdeckt, daher bergen sie noch viel authentischen Charme für ihre Besucher.

If you’re looking for relaxation, and perhaps a little pampering, then head to the pretty Slovenian coast town of Portorož – or Port of Roses in English. Predominantly Italian in look and feel, music, great food and rich history combine to create a delightfully relaxed atmosphere. Turn to page 8 to find out more about this hidden European jewel.

In contrast, Jakarta is a colourful, lively, pulsating tapestry of different languages, customs, and cuisine. There’s lots to see and do from shopping malls to bright nightlife as well as art and culture festivals and exhibitions. Our article on page 52 reveals the best things to do and see in this buzzing 24-hour city.

Suchen Sie nach Entspannung und wollen sich verwöhnen lassen? Dann nichts wie ab in die schöne slowenische Küstenstadt Portorož – den Hafen der Rosen. Städtchen mit italienischem Flair – ansteckende Musik, hervorragende Küche und eine bewegte Vergangenheit verschmelzen zu einer gelassenen Atmosphäre. Blättern Sie auf Seite 8, um mehr über dieses verborgene Juwel in Europa zu erfahren.

Jakarta hingegen ist ein farbenfrohes und pulsierendes Sammelsurium unterschiedlicher Sprachen, Bräuche und Küchen. Es gibt jede Menge zu sehen und zu erleben: Shopping, Nachtleben, Kunst und Kultur. Auf Seite 52 verraten wir Ihnen die Highlights dieser geschäftigen Stadt.

On page 16 we explore the exquisite Haute Couture collection of the Brazilian designer, Jum Nakao. His dress collection is made from … paper! Take a look at these delicate creations. If this article inspires you for more, turn on page 22 where you’ll also find other surprising paper products such as chairs and even a teapot!

Auf Seite 16 widmen wir uns einer ganz besonderen Modekollektion: Der brasilianische Designer Jum Nakao kreiert Fashionkleider … aus Papier! Und wenn Sie dieser Artikel inspiriert, blättern Sie einfach weiter und entdecken Sie noch mehr schöne Produkte aus Papier auf Seite 22.

Just as Jum Nakao has perfected the art of creating fashion from paper, so Bernard Antony is equally skilled in transforming cheese into a much sought after delicacy. His produce is used by top chefs and high-class delicatessens the world over. In fact around 19 Michelin 3-star restaurants choose it for their cheese platters. Find out what makes these cheeses so outstanding on page 40.

So wie Jum Nakao es perfektioniert hat, aus Papier Mode zu kreieren, so versteht sich Bernard Antony darin, aus üblichem Käse begehrte Delikatessen zu machen. Feinkostläden und Sterneköche aus aller Welt vertrauen auf Bernard Antony, wenn es um die runden Laibe geht. Finden Sie auf Seite 40 heraus, was seinen Käse so besonders macht.

We hope this issue whets your appetite for adventure and travel in 2014!

Wir hoffen diese Ausgabe macht Ihnen Lust auf Reisen und Abenteuer im Jahr 2014!

SLOVENES MAY BE SLAVS, BUT VISITORS TO SLOVENIA’S SHORT BUT SWEET 47KMLONG COAST WILL LIKELY BE STRUCK

BY HOW ITALIAN THE CULTURE SEEMS. The very name Portorož, for instance, is a Slovenicised corruption of the Italian for Port of Roses.

S

can the menu in one of the waterfront restaurants on the Obala promenade, home of the Kempinski Palace Hotel, that runs along the waterfront, and you’ll encounter dishes that sound like their Italian counterparts with the final vowel excised: prosciutto is pršut, risotto rižota. Vino, at least, is vino, whatever the language, and many Slovenian wines are excellent. Look out in particular for those made by Edi Simčič and Ščurek.

Not that any of this should be surprising give that the Italian city of Trieste lies less than 40km away by road, and Venice is

MANY OF THE TOWNS HEREA B O U T S H AV E I TA L I A N A S WELL AS SLOVENIAN NAMES. directly across the Adriatic. Many of the towns hereabouts have Italian as well as Slovenian names. Kobarid for example, which was also known as Caporetto, site of the terrible World War I battle that Ernest Hemingway describes in his novel “A Farewell to Arms”. Between 1915 and 1991, when Slovenia gained independence, the cosmopolitan little town underwent eight changes of sovereignty as it was passed between Italy, Austro-Hungary and Yugoslavia, including periods of occupation by both Germany and the Allies.

Hemingway remembered it as “a little white town with a campanile in a valley … a nice little place … the mountain hauling up beyond”. Its main attraction now is its restaurants, notably Hiša Franko.

PRŠUT PROSCIUTTO 10

Portorož, Slovenia’s principal resort, is best known for its beaches and of course the historically distinguished Palace Hotel, which opened in 1910 and Kempinski has operated since 2008.

Besides the attractions of the coast – don’t miss the infinitely picturesque port of Piran a couple of kilometres northwest at the tip of the peninsula, birthplace of the Italian composer Giuseppe Tartini – there is more to explore inland.

D O N ’ T M I S S T H E I N F I N I T E LY PICTURESQUE PORT OF PIRAN. Take the breathtakingly beautiful valley of the Soča, a fast-flowing river the colour of oxidised copper that runs through a landscape of snow-capped mountains, deep gorges, meadows blue with cornflowers and fragrant pine woodland. Or the Triglav National Park, where there’s a fine hike to the so-called Devil’s Bridge, which spans the furious waters of the cauldronlike Tolminska Gorge, and on to a Stygian cave named after Dante, who found inspiration for his Inferno here.

But perhaps the most memorable sight in western Slovenia is the Franja Partisan Hospital near Cerkno, not an immediately alluring prospect perhaps, but unmissable if you’re within driving distance.

SPRING ESCAPES. PORTOROŽ

(Allow 2:25 hours from Portorož.) This military hospital was built in 1943, deep in the heart of a sublime ravine, and functioned for 18 months, during that time it treated 522 soldiers, not only Yugoslavs, but Russians, Poles, French, Americans, even Italians and one Austrian. So remote and so secret was its location that the wounded would be blindfolded before being carried here up the rocky stream.

(It’s a 15-minute walk up into the gorge, but there is a path now.) Yet housed in its 13 camouflaged wooden huts was a workshop that made prostheses, an x-ray machine and an operating theatre, powered by a hydroelectric generator. It’s a disquieting, profoundly moving place, a site of hellish suffering, courage and aweinspiring triumph over adversity. Yet its setting, like the landscape throughout this enchanting nation, is just heavenly.

probably the most beautiful of Slovenia's coastal towns.

It was part of the Venetian empire from the late 13th century to the end of the 18th century.

below: The Sečovlje Salina Landscape Park preserves the tradition of salt production, while providing a home for numerous indigenous species of flora and fauna.

Auf den Speisekarten der vielen Restaurants an der Obala-Promenade, wo sich auch das Kempinski Palace Hotel befindet, stehen Gerichte, deren Namen wie italienische Spezialitäten klingen, bei denen der letzte Vokal weggelassen wurde: Prosciutto heißt pršut, Risotto ist rižota. Vino bleibt in beiden Sprachen vino, und auch die slowenischen Weine schmecken ausgezeichnet, besonders die von Edi Simčič und Ščurek.

Eigentlich wenig überraschend, wenn man bedenkt, dass Triest nur 40 Kilometer entfernt ist und Venedig direkt auf der anderen Seite der Adria liegt. Viele Städte des Landes haben sowohl slowenische als auch italienische Namen.

loweniens Geschichte mag von den Slawen geprägt sein, aber wenn man die nur 47 Kilometer lange, sehr reizvolle Küste des Landes bereist, fühlt man sich eher nach Italien versetzt. Der italienische Einfluss ist beispielsweise im Namen des Küstenortes Portorož präsent, der die slowenische Adaptierung des italienischen Wortes für „Rosenhafen“ ist.

Neben der wunderschönen Küste ist besonders der malerische Hafenort Piran, Geburtsort des italienischen Komponisten Giuseppe Tartini an der Nordwestspitze der Halbinsel einen Besuch wert. Aber auch im Binnenland gibt es viel zu entdecken.

Von atemberaubender Schönheit ist das Tal des Soča, ein schnell fließender Fluss, der die Farbe von oxidiertem Kupfer hat und sich durch eine Landschaft mit schneebedeckten Berggipfeln, tiefen Schluchten, Wiesen mit dunkelblauen Kornblumen und duftenden Kiefernwäldern seinen Weg bahnt. Empfehlenswert ist auch eine Wanderung im Nationalpark Triglav zur sogenannten Teufelsbrücke, die über das Wildwasser der Tolminer Klamm führt, oder zu der Höhle, die nach dem italienischen Dichter Dante benannt ist, der dort angeblich zu seinem „Inferno“ inspiriert wurde.

Eine beeindruckende, wenn vielleicht auch auf den ersten Blick nicht besonders verlockende Sehenswürdigkeit des westlichen Sloweniens ist das Partisanenlazarett Franja in der Nähe von Cerkno. Das 1943 erbaute Militärhospital liegt etwa

PORTOROŽ IST BERÜHMT FÜR SEINE STRÄNDE UND N AT Ü R L I C H F Ü R D A S H I S T O R I S C H E PA L A C E H O T E L .

Kobarid zum Beispiel, das auch als Caporetto bekannt ist. Der Ort war Schauplatz einer der schrecklichsten Schlachten des 1. Weltkriegs, die Ernest Hemingway in seinem Roman „In einem anderen Land“ beschrieben hat. Zwischen 1915 und 1991, dem Jahr der Unabhängigkeit Sloweniens, gehörte die kleine kosmopolitische Stadt zum Hoheitsgebiet von nicht weniger als acht verschiedenen Staaten, darunter Italien, Österreich-Ungarn und Jugoslawien, und war zeitweise von Deutschland und dessen Verbündeten besetzt. Hemingway beschrieb Kobarid als „eine kleine, weiße Stadt mit Kirchturm in einem Tal (…), ein netter kleiner Ort am Fuße der Berge“.

Heute ist sie vor allem durch ihre guten Restaurants, besonders das Hiša Franko, bekannt.

Portorož, der bedeutendste Urlaubsort Sloweniens, ist berühmt für seine Strände und natürlich für das historisch bedeutende Palace Hotel, das 1910 eröffnet wurde und seit 2008 zu Kempinski gehört.

zweieinhalb Stunden von Portorož entfernt, tief in einer grandiosen Schlucht. In den 18 Monaten seines Betriebs wurden hier 522 jugoslawische, russische, polnische, französische, amerikanische und sogar italienische und österreichische Soldaten versorgt. Der Standort war so geheim, dass den Verwundeten auf dem Transport auf dem felsigen Fluss die Augen verbunden wurden (der heute angelegte Pfad durch die Schlucht bringt Besucher in etwa 15 Minuten ans Ziel). Unter den dreizehn getarnten Holzbaracken war eine Werkstatt für Prothesen, außerdem gab es ein Röntgengerät und ein Theater, die durch ein Wasserkraftwerk betrieben wurden. Dieser Ort des Leids wirkt beunruhigend und verstörend auf den Besucher und ist doch ein Beispiel dafür, wie Mut über alle Widrigkeiten triumphieren kann. Die Lage des Lazaretts ist jedoch, wie die ganze Natur dieses sympathischen Landes, einfach nur unbeschreiblich schön.

The Crystal Hall where you now can take a sumptuous breakfast has a great history. It is the famous ballroom of the Kempinski Palace Portorož, where the Austro-Hungarian aristocracy whirled and twirled.

Haute Couture made of paper? It’s not only possible, São Paulo-based designer, Jum Nakao even makes it seem logical. With his ″A Costura do Invisivel” (Sewing the Invisible) collection, the Japanese-born artist takes us back to the enchanting fashion forms of the late 19th century. But while the style might be a blast from the past, the laser and embossing technology used to create it was state-of-the-art. Aided by a team of 150 assistants, it took Nakao around 700 hours to create the voluminous dresses, majestic gowns and elaborate corsages.

Jum Nakao indulging his fantasies: are the models cartoon characters, antagonists from the pages of a Victorian-era novel or actors showcasing the wardrobe of Tim Burton’s next film?

Based in São Paulo, Jum Nakao is a fashion designer and the creative director of the Instituto Brasil de Arte y Moda (Brasilian Institute of Art and Fashion).

Haute Couture aus Papier? Ja, das geht.

Sogar hervorragend, zeigt Designer Jum Nakao aus São Paulo: Er entwarf mit seiner Kollektion „A Costura do Invisível“ („Das Unsichtbare nähen“) zauberhafte Designs, die an die Mode des späten 19. Jahrhunderts erinnern. Aus weißen Blättern wurden etwa durch Prägedruck reliefartige Muster, durch LaserschnittTechnik filigrane Spitze. Nach rund 700 Stunden Handarbeit durch 150 Helfer entstanden voluminöse Kleider, majestätische Umhänge und aufwendige Corsagen.

Jum Nakao is one of Brazil’s most significant fashion designers. Based in São Paulo, he is the creative director of the Brazilian Institute of Art and Fashion. Beyond the elaborate production process (see above) and the resulting fashion, the show itself was a sensation: to the astonishment of the crowd attending the São Paulo Fashion Week, the models ripped the paper garments from their bodies after their catwalks. Almost half a year of work was literally torn to shreds in a matter of seconds.

Jum Nakao’s aim was to evoke a relationship between his fashion and the viewers.

When children are given a piece of paper and pair of scissors, their natural tendency is to cut it from different angles.

The designer has taken this instinct to whole new levels.

BERNARD ANTONY TURNS TURNED MILK INTO SOMETHING WONDERFUL. HIS PRODUCTS ARE IN DEMAND BY STAR CHEFS AND DISCERNING FANS AROUND THE WORLD. WE CAUGHT UP WITH HIM TO TALK ABOUT SAVOURY AROMAS, FLAVOURY TASTES AND THE RENAISSANCE OF CHEESE CULTURE.

T

here’s a good chance that many of those reading this have already been served at least one of his masterpieces in a top restaurant: in the connoisseur world, Bernard Antony is considered the “Cheese Pope”. Star chefs, royal families and upmarket delicatessens around the world order cheeses from him. When time is of the essence, some even send helicopters to pick up their orders directly from his company headquarter in France. Located between Basel and Montbéliard in the Sundgau city of Vieux Ferrette, the cellar complex established by Maître Bernard Antony in 1983 and now co-run by his son,

40

WINING & DINING

Jean-François, is currently home to over 100 types of cheese.

Maître Antony, what makes a great cheese great?

Three things are important: terroir, production and the aging process. Terroir is the technical term for the cheese’s origin and by that I mean more than the place it’s from. I’m talking about the breed of cow or sheep or goat the milk came from.

About the field they grazed in, the herbs and plants they ate and even the season during which they were milked. As for the production, it is of the utmost importance to us that our products remain non-industrial in nature. We procure our cheese from small dairies and farms that we screen personally. All of them have agreed to meet our strict requirements including

a maximum of 250 animals that are grass fed in summer and hay fed in winter. The third important thing is the aging process.

This takes place in our cellars and is a science in itself.

What actually takes place in the cheese cellars?

I cannot and will not divulge exactly what we do down there because it’s a company secret! What I can tell you is that we have around 100 types of cheese in the cellars that have undergone our various refinement processes. This can be treatments with stock and brine or with wine and spirits. The way the blocks are cared for and turned depends on the type of cheese. The end result is a very individual cheese. In fact, every block or wheel is unique. Every cheese tells its own story.

Cheese can tell stories? What does this piece of Tomme d’Elgines have to say for itself?

This Tomme d’Elgines has a fine aroma that hints of goats milk which of course affects its taste accordingly. The texture can be soft or firm and varies depending on the season and ripeness. I can also tell you that the small village in the Auvergne from which the cheese originated, is practically a ghost town now. The Maury family that made the cheese are the only people that live there. Admittedly, that’s something no-one can know just by taste, but you understand that an extraordinary product such as this really does have a story to tell. When everything functions optimally – and I maintain that is the case with every one of our cheeses – then cheese can be art.

Isn’t it a shame to eat it if it’s art?

Well, let’s say it is the result of artistic craftsmanship. You know, Karl Lagerfeld once said to me, “Tu fais la Haute Couture comme moi”, “You make Haute Couture like I do.” Pretty flattering, don’t you think?

You mentioned Karl Lagerfeld and we know he’s but one of the many famous people you count amongst your clients.

Does one have to apply to become a customer?

Not at all. Anyone who comes here during our opening hours can buy cheese. It is

true that I have turned customers away, the KaDeWe department store in Berlin for example. That had nothing to do with snobbiness, rather the fact that I couldn’t guarantee the maturity and quality I insist upon.

You supply the restaurants of Alain Ducasse, royal families and multiple star venues in Paris and Dubai. How did a farm boy make it to the top of the cheese world?

I have to admit that my fate still amazes me too. These days, we deliver Tokyo with 100 kilos of cheese every week, I visit gourmet festivals all over the world and I create buffets for aristocrats. A world completely different to the one of my youth. My life began as the son of a farmer, whose first job was a gofer in a factory.

Later I worked as a door-to-door salesman, selling bras, shoes, “La vache qui rit” cheese and cheap wine. In 1978, a chance meeting with François Schmittlin from the “Guilde des Fromages” led to an audience with the “King of Cheese”: Pierre Androuet.

He convinced me to become a cheese affineur before training me personally in Paris.

While the cheese selection at the end of a French dinner is seen by many as its culinary crowning, is the traditional cheese culture suffering in the age of calorie counting?

in huge amounts, but they do appreciate quality.

Starter, main course, cheese, dessert – normal in France but the exception in Germany for example, because it takes too long and is rather hard on the digestion. Is the combination of cheese and salad an alternative?

A catastrophe! The acidity of the salad dressing destroys the taste of the cheese.

On top of that, the combination is, how should I put this, rather problematic for the digestive system.

And what about spreads such as marmalades, chutneys or fig mustard with cheese?

Terrible! These things can only be added to a bland, mass-produced cheese, in order to mask its taste as it passes over the tongue.

Marmalades and the like are killers of good cheese because their taste is so intense that it destroys the aroma of the cheese it’s supposed to enhance.

Is the same true of oil? A lot of people like to dip their cheese in olive oil.

While everyone is free to do as they please, I find the practice unnecessary. We provide people with salty butter for the Breton jacket potatoes and

A GREAT CHEESE SHOULD BE RESPECTED AND ENJOYED FOR ITS OWN SAKE. Bernard Antony

Good question. While it’s true that we’ve seen an increasing trend for guests to forgo the cheese at the end of a meal, I have a feeling that cheese culture is about to make a comeback – and not just in France. A lot of young people have discovered cheese and are buying it. Not

farmhouse bread during our cheese tastings. Purists leave the butter and eat the cheese with bread alone, preferring the untainted taste.

A great cheese should be respected and enjoyed for its own sake.

BERNARD ANTONY VERWANDELT VERGORENE MILCH IN LECKERBISSEN. ER LIEFERT SEINE PRODUKTE AN STARKÖCHE UND FANS IN ALLER WELT. EIN GESPRÄCH ÜBER GENUSS, GERÜCHE, GESCHMACKSFUNDAMENTALISMUS – UND DIE RENAISSANCE DER KÄSEKULTUR ...

W

er in einem Spitzenrestaurant einen Käseteller bestellt, bekommt in vielen Fällen eines seiner Meisterstücke serviert: Bernard Antony gilt in der Welt der Feinschmecker als „Käsepapst“. Sterneköche, Adelshäuser und Feinkosthändler von New York über Baiersbronn bis Tokio bestellen bei Antony exquisiten Käse aus Frankreich, manche lassen die Ware mit dem Hubschrauber abholen, wenn es schnell gehen muss. In seinem „Käs-Kaller“ im Sundgauer Städtchen Vieux-Ferrette zwischen Basel und Belfort reifen mehr als 100 Käsesorten, die vom 69 Jahre alten Maître fromager und seinem Sohn Jean-François Antony veredelt wurden. Ein Gespräch mit dem französischen Käse-Connaisseur über Genuss und Geschmacksfundamentalismus.

Maître Antony, was macht einen sehr guten Käse aus?

Drei Dinge sind wichtig: Terroir, Produktion, Reifeprozess. Terroir ist der Fachbegriff für die Herkunft des Käses, und damit ist nicht nur der Ort gemeint. Es kommt auf die Rasse der Kühe, der Schafe oder der Ziegen an, auf die Wiesen, auf denen sie grasen, auf die Pflanzen, die sie fressen, auf die Jahreszeit, in der sie gemolken werden. Bei der Herstellung lege ich vor allem Wert darauf, dass es kein Industrieprodukt ist. Wir beziehen den Käse nur von kleinen Molkereien und Bau-

ernhöfen, die wir persönlich kennen. Die Bauern müssen sich auf unsere vorgegebenen Produktionsrichtlinien einlassen, dürfen nicht mehr als 250 Tiere halten und im Sommer müssen sie mit Gras und im Winter mit Heu füttern. Und dazu kommt dann noch der Reifeprozess bei uns in den Käsekellern, das ist eine Wissenschaft für sich.

Was passiert da genau im Käsekeller?

Ganz genau kann und will ich Ihnen das nicht sagen, Betriebsgeheimnis. Aber wir haben rund 100 Käsesorten in den Kellern liegen, die wir veredeln. Dazu gehört die Behandlung mit Suden und Laken, mit Wein und Schnaps, je nach Sorte. Die Laibe werden nach bestimmten Systemen gepflegt und regelmäßig gewendet. Am Schluss kommt ein sehr individueller Käse heraus, jeder Laib ist ein Unikum. Jeder Käse erzählt seine Geschichte.

Aha, Käse kann Geschichten erzählen? Was erzählt zum Beispiel dieses Stück Tomme d’Elgines?

Dieser Tomme d’Elgines duftet fein und leicht nach Ziegenmilch, und so schmeckt er auch. Die Textur variiert je nach Saison und Reifegrad, sie kann weich oder fest sein. Ich kann Ihnen noch erzählen, dass

trieben, sagen wir: Kunsthandwerk. Wissen Sie, was Karl Lagerfeld mal zu mir gesagt hat? „Tu fais la Haute Couture comme moi“ (Du machst Haute Couture wie ich). Ist das nicht schmeichelhaft.

Wie Lagerfeld können Sie sich Ihre Kunden aussuchen. Es heißt, Sie beliefern nicht jeden. Muss man sich bewerben, um Ihren Käse essen zu dürfen?

Nein, überhaupt nicht. Jeder, der will, kann zu unseren Öffnungszeiten herkommen und Käse kaufen. Aber ich habe schon mal Kunden abgelehnt, das stimmt, das Berliner Kaufhaus KaDeWe zum Beispiel. Das hat aber nichts mit Snobismus zu tun, sondern damit, dass ich in diesem Fall Reifegrad und Qualität nicht durchgehend garantieren könnte.

Sie liefern an die Restaurants von Alain Ducasse, an Sternelokale in Paris und Dubai, an die Habsburger. Wie kam es, dass Sie sich vom Bauernjungen an die Käse-Weltspitze hochgearbeitet haben?

Das erstaunt mich selbst immer wieder.

Wir liefern heute 100 Kilo Käse pro Woche nach Tokio, ich besuche Gourmet-Festivals in der ganzen Welt, ich mache Buffets für Adelige, und wenn ich mich an meine Kind-

AGING G R A C E F U L LY… The “Celebration of Cheese” tasting in the cosy cellars of Bernard Antony is a gourmet adventure, a journey of discovery along which stops are made to savour the very finest cheeses.

A sensation for the senses, the variety of aromas, tastes and textures leave no doubt that cheese can be so much more than a processed product.

Combined with a selection of complementing wines, visitors never quite view Camembert and Co. the same way again.

EIN GROSSER KÄSE SOLLTE ABER RESPEKTIERT UND UM SEINER SELBST WILLEN VERKOSTET WERDEN. Bernard Antony

der kleine Ort in der Auvergne, aus dem der Käse kommt, fast ausgestorben ist, außer der Familie Maury, die den Käse macht, gibt es keine Einwohner mehr.

Gut, das schmeckt man nicht. Aber Sie sehen, dass ein außergewöhnliches Produkt tatsächlich eine Geschichte erzählen kann.

Wenn das optimal funktioniert, und ich behaupte, das ist bei jedem unserer Käse so, dann kann Käse Kunst sein.

Käse ist Kunst?

Na ja, Kunst ist vielleicht ein bisschen über-

heit erinnere, war das eine völlig andere Welt. Ich war ja anfangs nur ein Elsässer Bauernsohn, der sein Geld als Handlanger in einer Fabrik verdient hat. Später arbeitete ich als Händler, der von Haus zu Haus zog, ich verkaufte Büstenhalter, Schuhe, „La vache qui rit“ und billigen Wein.

1978 lernte ich zufällig François Schmittlin von der „Guilde des Fromagers“ kennen, der mir den „König der Käser“ vorstellte:

BEING THIS GOOD TA K E S T I M E “The secret of this métier lies in working with and respecting craftsmen who are often more artist than simple producer.” says Antony. “There is no better job in the world than creating exceptional, authentic products that delight the taste buds and stimulate the senses.”

The Antony family has been committed to cheese perfection since 1979.

Pierre Androuet. Der überzeugte mich, Käse-Affineur zu werden, und bildete mich persönlich in Paris aus.

In der klassischen französischen Küche ist die Käseauswahl am Schluss eines Menüs die kulinarische Krönung. Aber ist das noch zeitgemäß? Man hat den Eindruck, auch die Spitzengastronomie wird immer gesundheits- und kalorienbewusster. Leidet darunter nicht die traditionelle Käsekultur?

Da ist was dran. Vielen Gästen ist der Käse nach dem Menü tatsächlich zu viel. Aber ich habe den Eindruck, dass die Käsekultur gerade wieder aufblüht, nicht nur in Frankreich. Viele junge Leute kaufen wieder Käse, zwar keine großen Mengen, aber dafür legen sie Wert auf Qualität.

Vorspeise, Hauptspeise, Käse, Dessert – das ist in Frankreich normal, aber in Deutschland im Alltag eher unüblich, weil es zu lange dauert und zu schwer im Magen liegt. Ist die Kombination Käse und Salat eine Alternative?

Eine Katastrophe! Das geht meiner Meinung nach gar nicht. Die Säure in der Salatsoße macht jeden Käsegeschmack kaputt. Noch dazu ist diese Kombination verdauungstechnisch, wie soll ich sagen, ziemlich problematisch.

44

WINING & DINING

Und was halten Sie von Marmeladen, Chutneys und Feigensenf zum Käse?

Schrecklich! So etwas würde ich nur nehmen, wenn ich einen geschmacklosen Industriekäse habe, um ihn irgendwie runterzukriegen. Für jeden guten Käse sind solche Marmeladen und andere Soßen der Killer, weil ihr Geschmack viel zu stark ist und das Aroma des Käses tötet.

Gilt das auch für Öle? Manche Leute tunken den Käse ja gerne in Olivenöl.

Das kann man natürlich machen, ist meiner Meinung nach aber nicht nötig. Wir reichen bei Käseverkostungen salzige Butter zu bretonischen Pellkartoffeln und Bauernbrot, aber Puristen verzichten sogar auf die Butter und essen Brot und Käse lieber unverfälscht. Ein großer Käse sollte aber respektiert und um seiner selbst willen verkostet werden.

A

s a couple, wine and cheese go way back. Full-bodied reds, crispy whites, blue-vein or goats, the taste and aroma of a good drop can provide heavenly harmony or colourful contrast. While “Cheese Pope” Antony knows which cheeses go

perfectly with which wine, there are numerous vineyards that know which of their wines go perfectly with certain types of cheese.

Wein und Käse sind seit jeher ein beliebtes Paar. Nicht nur kräftige Rotweine erleben im Zusammenspiel mit Käsesorten eine neue Harmonie, auch Weißweine und Auslesen umschmeicheln so manche zartschmelzende Käsesorte. Oft ist es die Ähnlichkeit von Geschmack und Aroma, häufig jedoch gerade der Kontrast, der die Verbindung so interessant macht. Nicht nur bei Käsemeister Antony können Sie eine Auswahl besonders gelungener Verbindungen erleben, auch zahlreiche Weingüter wissen mit der Kombination beider Delikatessen so manche erstaunliche Gaumenfreude hervor zu kitzeln.

ALOIS LAGEDER SAUVIGNON BLANC 2012

WEINGUT HORST SAUER SILVANER BEERENAUSLESE 2012

The strong body of the Merlot basis with the complement of Malbec lends this wine a tantalisingly fruity structure. The complexity of the aromas with a touch of Cabernet is balanced by its wood tannins. Rousselle Prestige 2009 goes wonderfully with strong European cheeses such as Camembert, goats cheeses, Old Gouda (Holland), Maroile (Northern France) Roquefort (Southern France), Appenzeller (Switzerland).

The Sauvignon Blanc 2012 is a fabulous accompaniment to goats cheese. With its very fresh, quite pronounced, grapey aroma with notes of ripe subtropical fruit, gooseberry and elderflowers, it takes the cheese experience to the next level. Located in South Tyrol, the Lageder winery is renowned for the quality wines it produces using holistic and sustainable farming policies. Wines worthy of cheeses created with zero processing.

This wine 2012 goes hand-in-hand with all kinds of blue-vein. The sweetness of the Beerenauslese complements the savoury notes and the slightly salty aspects of cheeses such as Roquefort and Gorgonzola.

GERMANY AND PORCELAIN MANUFACTURE GO WAY BACK. In fact, an alchemist imprisoned

by Augustus the Strong was the first person outside of China to successfully unlock the secrets of its creation in the early 18 th century.

FACE TO FACE

D

espite the fact German porcelain has earned itself a worldwide reputation for quality and craftsmanship in the centuries since then, it would seem China has had the last laugh after all.

With the market flooded with inexpensive, mass produced dinnerware, many of Germany’s traditional manufacturers have closed up shop for good – a fate the Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur (KMP) in Berlin looked certain to share. Despite the warnings of business consultants concerned he was letting sentiment cloud his better judgement, a private banker and entrepreneur named Jörg Woltmann stepped in and took over KPM in the beginning of 2006, not just saving it from bankruptcy, but saving one of Berlin’s last luxury brands in the process.

We caught up with him in Germany’s capital to ask about teacups, tradition and traits …

MR WOLTMANN, WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A KPM TEACUP AND AN ORDINARY ONE? A KPM teacup stands out in particular through its stylish design and high quality. Precision craftsmanship, value stability and form variety as a statement of individuality and luxury are KPM’s distinguishing traits. Put simply, a KPM product is a statement.

IS THIS KIND OF CRAFTSMANSHIP STILL IN DEMAND? Unquestionably. People are constantly on the lookout for handmade, non-electronic products, to help ground them in this digital age. Sustainability and deceleration are now expressions of the highest luxury in this fast paced world in which we live. We represent over 250 years of tradition with products that reflect the spirit of time. That is exactly what our customers are searching for.

WHAT IS YOUR ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE PIECE? The Kurland dinner service has been a part of my life since childhood and has always held a special place in my heart. It was also the first dinner service that I bought for myself as a young man so you can understand why I consider Kurland to be a KPM highlight to this day.

Every morning, I savour my tea from a cup from the Kurland Royal Noir set. I consider it the perfect way to start the day.

Trotz der Warnungen seiner Wirtschaftsberater entschied sich der Privatbankier und Unternehmer Jörg Woltmann 2006 für die Rettung der Königlichen PorzellanManufaktur Berlin. Durch den Kauf der KPM bewahrte er nicht nur ein Kulturgut seiner Heimat, sondern auch eine der ältesten Luxusmarken der Welt vor der drohenden Insolvenz.

WAS UNTERSCHEIDET EINE KPM-TASSE VON EINER GÜNSTIGEN TEETASSE? Eine KPM-Tasse besticht vor allem durch ihre Qualität und ihr stilbewusstes Design.

Handarbeit in höchster Präzision, Wertbeständigkeit sowie Formenvielfalt als Ausdruck von Individualität und Luxus kennzeichnen den Anspruch der KPM. Ein Produkt aus dem Hause KPM ist ein Statement.

IST HANDWERKSKUNST WIE DIESE DERZEIT GEFRAGT? Selbstverständlich. Die Gesellschaft sehnt sich regelrecht nach handgefertigten, nicht-digitalen Produkten, um einen Gegenpol zu schaffen.

Gerade Nachhaltigkeit und Entschleunigung sind doch in einer immer schneller werdenden Welt Ausdruck von höchstem Luxus. Wir verkörpern eine über 250jährige Tradition mit Produkten, die dem Zeitgeist entsprechen. Das ist, wonach sich unsere Kunden sehnen.

Die Porzellantasse ist mit dem „Kurland Royal Noir“Dekor von Thomas Wenzel verziert. Das klassische „Kurland“-Dekor wurde 1790 von Johann Karl Friedrich Riese designt und geht zurück auf ein Tafelservice im klassizistischen Stil, welches für den Herzog Peter Biron von Kurland entworfen

WELCHES IST IHR ABSOLUTES LIEBLINGSSTÜCK? Seit meiner Kindheit war das Service Kurland ein Begleiter und für mich immer etwas Besonderes. Es war auch das erste Service, das ich mir selbst in jungen Jahren gekauft habe. Daher ist Kurland bis heute für mich das Highlight der KPM. Aus einer Kurland Royal Noir Bürotasse genieße ich täglich meinen Tee. Vielleicht die schönste Art, seinen Tag zu beginnen.

BY CYNTHIA ROSENFELD

n fact, those willing to fight traffic creatively, perhaps with Go-Jek (go-jek.com), an innovative motorcycle taxi service that is also a social enterprise, will find under the radar yet text: Cynthia Rosenfeld rewarding pleasures.

Located on the northwest coast of Java, Indonesia’s capital, Jakarta is also the country’s largest city.

Start by taking a trip back in time to the Old Batavia neighborhood where Café Batavia (cafebatavia.com) holds court at the northwest corner of Taman Fatahillah Square, the city’s oldest. Wander around the two-story, 200 year old converted Dutch warehouse, admiring massive Javanese teak floorboards and whirling ceiling fans then head upstairs to quaff at the atmospheric Winston Churchill Bar but save your appetite for newcomers like Le Quartier (lequartier.co.id).

Homesick Europeans flock to the cavernous, art filled eatery to dine on authentic French onion soup and stone baked pizzas doused in truffle oil.

WHERE AND WHAT TO EAT: ➊ LE QUARTIER

Jakarta’s latest sweet spot is another Senopati area newcomer, Cacaoté (Jalan

Senopati Raya No. 80; +62 21 2930 6127). At this Versailles inspired address, food is merely the foreplay to desserts like the coconut-white chocolate Tropical cake and the “luster dust” coated dark chocolate hazelnut tart.

Indonesia’s diverse cultural traditions are on display among wayang kulit leather shadow puppets and wooden wayang golek at the Wayang Museum on the west side of Fatahillah Square as well as at the Jakarta Textile Museum (museumtekstiljakarta.com).

Wen die Tour durch die Stadt hungrig gemacht hat, sollte einen Abstecher in das neueröffnete Le Quartier (lequartier. co.id) machen. Hier genießen heimwehgeplagte Europäer im großzügigen Restaurant zwischen Kunstwerken echte französische Zwiebelsuppe und Steinofenpizza mit Trüffelöl. Der neueste Hotspot für Süßes in Jakarta – Cacaoté – befindet sich ebenfalls im Senopati-Bezirk (Jalan Senopati Raya No. 80; +62 21 2930 6127). Die Hauptrolle in dieser von Versailles inspirierten Location spielen die Desserts, wie der tropische Kokoskuchen mit weißer Schokolade und die Schokoladen-Haselnuss-Tarte.
