Getting a Dresden Butter Stollen has been a Christmas tradition for us for many years, and we've always enjoyed eating them. This year was no different and I opened our Stollen with great anticipation. Imagine my horror and revulsion when I took my first bite and found a long hair baked into the pastry. Nauseating.

These breads are manufactured by a company in Massachusetts called Dimitria Delights. You can bet I shot off a harsh complaint to them immediately.

Used to be a five-star dessert, but not after my latest experience.

I am of German decent and ate many stollens in my lifetime but this is the worst.

Don't waste your $$

This is not a Stollen. The company ships it in an ENVELOPE, and it arrives as a squished one inch thick piece of dough. Not edible!

This is nowhere near a real Dresden stollen. It's more like a very, very sweet American fruit cake (minus the nuts), molded into a squished loaf shape. It's the same difference in quality as those sticky-sweet chocolate covered cherries you buy in a dime store or Wal-Mart and an honest to goodness piece of Belgian or Swiss chocolate. I've had a variety of honest to goodness Dresden stollens over the years, and even the least good was miles better than this.

I purchased Frau Helga's Stolen, for my son who just recently was assigned to an Army Unit in Germany. We celebrated Christmas early, and he recieved this as a gift. Having lived in Germany for 3 yrs, myself, I have to say this was one of the best stollen, I've had- very fresh-high quality product, and I would most definatly get one for myself! I highly recomend this Stollen!
