Even as a child, I was fascinated by beautiful England with its natural landscapes. My grandma Margarete showed me Winston Churchill's birthplace, Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, and I was enchanted and infected with the England virus. Nowadays, the experience is probably comparable to visiting Harry Potter's Hogwarts and likely just as formative. As an avid reader of crime novels, Sherlock Holmes and his Baker Street in London sparked a great fascination. I saw Miss Marple in Paddington and of course Cornwall, and I loved the fine English style of James Bond. Beautiful green landscapes, the cottages in Country Living style, and the friendliness of the people ignited a great love for everything Anglophile. Many trips could not quench this thirst.
By a coincidence that I don't really believe in, I ended up in America and traveled with my family through many beautiful states. I was especially fascinated by New England, but the other regions of America also sparked an even greater longing and love for the country on the other side of the Atlantic.Â
In 2004, I founded American Heritage in Augsburg and imported the first rocking chairs and lifestyle products from the land of unlimited possibilities. In search of the finest gourmet products and delicacies from American manufacturers, we found what we were looking for and expanded the successful range. Long-time customers are already familiar with our story and enjoy the extraordinary selection of many award-winning products from the Fancy Food Show. Even today, we are constantly on the lookout for the delicacies of American cuisine.
Nevertheless, Canada, England, Ireland, and actually Australia still remain on the travel list, so it is not surprising that we want to include these areas of the world in our range. The name American Heritage no longer accurately reflects our offerings, so we are now presenting the expanded range from the English-speaking world under RYAN'S Specialties offer. And RYAN's is now run by the family, as the next generation strongly supports the journey that began in 2004.
Importing has become so time-consuming and complicated due to customs regulations, veterinary offices, and food monitoring that it can no longer be carried out without know-how and expertise. This very knowledge and experience we have acquired, and we see ourselves as a specialist importer of the most beautiful and high-quality products. We are delighted to make these available to the best delicatessen and lifestyle stores in Europe. This way, you as our retailer can offer your end customers a beautiful and successful range from our Augsburg warehouse. The many bestsellers like Habanero Mango Aioli, Maple Chipotle, and Country Ketchup from Stonewall Kitchen, or the purest maple syrup in the world, are extremely popular with you.Â
Thank you to our retailers for the journey together with products from the world of James and Harry, as well as legends like George and Cate - representing interesting and exciting cultures. We look forward to more new adventures with the best retailers in Europe and great products from gourmet food and lifestyle.
Danke,
