Spreewald Feldmann’s original production facilities are located in the heart of the Spreewald biosphere reserve. The Spreewald region of Germany is famous for its rich heritage in pickled and preserved vegetables. Spreewald brings authentic European flavour to your kitchen by transforming locally grown cucumbers and vegetables into delicious, tangy, preserved foods using time-honoured recipes and traditional methods. The processed gherkins are grown in areas within the Spreewald and are handled immediately on location after harvesting without being transported over long distances.
The Spreewald region benefits from unique geographic conditions that are well-suited for gherkin cultivation. It is characterised by a network of small canals and waterways, created by the river Spree, which create a humid microclimate. The fertile soil in the area, enriched by the river’s sediments, provides an ideal environment for growing cucumbers. Gherkins from the Spreewald have become an iconic symbol of the region and are highly valued by locals and visitors alike. The tradition of gherkin cultivation and pickling is deeply ingrained in the local culture, and the region celebrates its gherkin heritage with festivals and events dedicated to this culinary specialty.
