We use the centuries-old process of adding natural spices to a fermentation tank full of fresh crisp cucumbers. As the cucumbers naturally cure in our unique blend of spices, a full-bodied and complex flavor
develops. This old-fashioned process creates the world’s
most flavorful pickles, just like Mom used to make! Our sauerkraut is also made the old-fashioned way, fully cured in the tank, using slow natural fermentation. Our select cabbage varieties are grown locally, cut by specially adjusted knives to produce a long, full-length shred. The only ingredient added during fermentation is sea salt, no vinegar is added. Our attention to detail, combined with the highest quality ingredients, creates the World’s Best Sauerkraut!
