In fact, 180 million Americans consumed a pretzel in 2018. That’s way too many for your snack bowl. Recently on National Pretzel Day, we introduced you to our friends over at Unique Pretzels, and now we’re taking a deeper look into their mouthwatering products and fascinating story! In fact, it might change the way you look at the traditional pretzel; from crispy bubbles and crunchy crevices, Unique Pretzels is a pretzel lover’s dream.
The Spannuth Legacy
Known for the “Original Split-Open Pretzel,” this six-generation family business has a lot of rich history and German heritage. Trademarked in 1921, they knew early on their future was bright and pretzel shaped. Over the years the recipes were perfected and some even created by mistake or maybe by miracle. Their unique slow baking process combined with letting their raw pretzels perfect over time equates to several delicious products. Their original “Splits” consist of crispy bubbles and crunchy crevices that are sure to tantalize your taste buds. Now, we can’t give away all the family secrets, you’ll just have to do some taste testing yourself.
In 1999, the sixth generation of Spannuth family pretzel operators joined the ranks – William and Justin Spannuth. With new leadership and some buried family treasure consisting of secret pretzel ideas, the competitive brother duo was on their way to change the traditional pretzel industry. Shortly after taking over, the team introduced the Extra Salted Multigrain Split Pretzels, but they didn’t stop there. Knowing they had to do more to dominate the pretzel world, in 2009 they introduced an Organic recipe with health benefits called “Sprouted.” Their wide range of products consisting of pretzel delicacies like sourdough, chocolate, pretzel shells and the original splits have truly made them “unique.” If you’re looking for something savory and sweet to dunk your pretzels, well they’ve thought of that too. Unique Pretzels offers multiple dip varieties to complement each pretzel flavor profile. Rooted in the heart of the Pretzel Capital of the World – Pennsylvania – they plan on carrying on the family legacy for pretzel lovers for centuries to come.
