About Scandia Pepparrot

Erich Trapp GmbH & Co. KG produces horseradish specialties and gourmet sauces under the Scandia Pepparrot brand. Founded in 1954 in Hamburg-Altona, the company manufactures customized horseradish preparations, also in organic quality, as well as delicatessen sauces — fresh daily and to order — at its site in Kaltenkirchen in Schleswig-Holstein. The raw material comes from controlled contract farming and is traceable back to the individual contract farmer. Processing includes washing, color sorting with high-resolution special cameras, computer-monitored preparation, gentle cold processing under vacuum, and filling into jars, pails, portion packs and containers. Filling is done in fill quantities from 15 to 75 g as tube bags or quadruple-sealed flat pouches, on request with individual printing. The company supplies the food processing industry, gastronomy and food retail.
