Schmalz'S Provision Inc.

About

Schmalz's European Provisions is a family-owned and operated company founded in 1972 by Otto and Amanda Schmalz, who immigrated to America in 1957. Missing the traditional foods of their German homeland, Otto, using skills honed in Bavaria, began recreating old-world flavors. They have since expanded their offerings to include provisions from many regions of Europe, providing authentic European cuisine for the modern American lifestyle. Their bratwurst has been featured in the NYC Steuben Day Parade, making them a trusted source for traditional European sausages and deli meats.

What we carry

• European Sausages (e.g., Bratwurst, Smoked Kielbasy)
• Specialty Meats (e.g., Smoked Cottage Ham)
• Blood Sausage (e.g., Kishka w/ Beef Blood)
