About

Schmalz's European Provisions is a family-owned company founded in 1972 by Otto and Amanda Schmalz, Bavarian immigrants who missed the traditional foods of their homeland. They began recreating old-world flavors in America, expanding to include products from various European and Asian regions. Schmalz's offers authentic European cuisine like bratwurst and smoked kielbasy, allowing the diaspora to recall their culinary traditions or explore new tastes. Their products have been featured at notable events like the NYC Steuben Day Parade and Oktoberfest celebrations.
