Christmas Yule Log
Bring festive excitement to your counter this season with the Christmas Yule Log, a savoury showstopper that gives customers something truly different for their holiday table. This handcrafted centrepiece starts with quality beef mince enhanced with Verstegen Hamburger Mix Pure, which delivers bold seasoning and a consistent bind. The result is a rich, flavourful base that sets the tone for a premium seasonal offering.
Once rolled and chilled, the mince transforms into a smooth, workable sheet that lets you create an eye-catching shape with ease. Inside, a creamy blend of soft cheese and grated cheese adds a decadent contrast. This filling melts beautifully during cooking and gives every slice a festive richness your customers will love. The log shape also gives you great visual appeal in the counter, especially during busy holiday trading.
To elevate the look and flavour even further, brush the outside with Verstegen Smokey BBQ World Grill. This quick step adds colour, depth, and an irresistible smoky aroma. Then, once shaped and marked, finish the log with Verstegen Smokey BBQ Sauce. It gives the product a glossy, high-impact glaze that grabs attention immediately. Finally, the Verstegen Decoration Mix Italian brings festive colour and texture, while the Parmesan adds a savoury lift that balances the creamy centre.
This Christmas Yule Log offers strong upselling potential. It cooks easily at home, slices neatly, and suits customers looking for something special without extra effort. Place it alongside your other seasonal lines, add a clear oven-ready label, and you’ll create a standout feature for your Christmas counter.
With premium ingredients, trusted Verstegen flavours, and a striking festive finish, this product gives butchers a reliable, profitable option for the holiday season—while giving customers a delicious talking point for their Christmas table.
