Hi,

As a German Food Chemist I have some notes about Stollen. Dresdner 
Christstollen, Dresdner Butterstollen and Dresdner Stollen are 
synonyms. And an authentic Dresdner Christstollen must be baked in Dresden.

This was part of the unification treaty between the Federal Republik 
of Germany and German Democratic Republic in 1989.

Since than Dresden means a "geographical indication", which says 
nothing about the composition. You find the minimum requirements of 
"Stollen" in the guidelines for baked goods in the German Food Code. 
There is always a basic recipe and every bakery in and about Dresden 
has its secret.

If you want to try a good Stollen recipe (German food blogger 
approved), try this
