Schwartau Extra Weniger Zucker Waldfrucht

Schwartau Extra is a flagship brand of the German food industry, specifically known for its high-quality fruit preserves. The product shown, 'Waldfrucht' (Forest Fruit) with 'Weniger Zucker' (Less Sugar), is part of the extensive 'Extra' range which has been a staple on German breakfast tables for decades. The brand's products are primarily manufactured in Bad Schwartau, Germany, a location that has been central to the company since its founding.

The history of the brand dates back to 1899 when brothers Otto and Paul Fromm founded a factory in Bad Schwartau. Today, Schwartauer Werke is part of the Swiss-based Hero Group. Despite the international ownership, the brand maintains its distinct German identity and continues to source its ingredients and conduct its primary production within Germany, adhering to strict quality standards that have made it a market leader in the preserves category.
