Schamel Bayerischer Meerrettich Scharfwürzig

Schamel Meerrettich is a traditional German brand specializing in horseradish products. Founded in 1846 by Johann Jakob Schamel in Baiersdorf, Bavaria, it is recognized as the oldest horseradish factory in Bavaria. The brand is famous for its 'Bayerischer Meerrettich' (Bavarian Horseradish), which carries the EU's Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status.

The product is manufactured in Germany, specifically in Baiersdorf, using locally grown roots from the surrounding Franconian region. The company remains a family-owned enterprise, currently managed by the sixth generation of the Schamel family. It operates as an independent medium-sized business, focusing on sustainable sourcing and traditional processing methods that have been refined over more than 175 years.
