Heritage & History
Kelchner's Horseradish was founded in 1938 in Lititz, Pennsylvania, a small Lancaster County town with deep German-American food traditions. Horseradish preparation has been a Pennsylvania German staple for generations — the sharp condiment was used to preserve food before refrigeration and as a year-round table condiment in the Pennsylvania Dutch tradition. Kelchner's was founded to bring this traditional preparation to market from a small-scale operation in Lancaster County.
Lititz's artisan food heritage provided a fitting origin for a condiment company built on traditional recipes. The town, founded by Moravian settlers in 1756, has a long history of small-batch specialty food production. Kelchner's has remained in continuous operation in Lititz for nearly nine decades, maintaining the family recipe and production approach that defines the brand's identity.
Made in Lititz, Pennsylvania
All Kelchner's products are made in Lititz, Pennsylvania using traditional preparation methods. Prepared horseradish requires careful handling — the grating process releases the volatile compounds that create horseradish's distinctive heat, and the vinegar and salt used in preservation must be added promptly after grating to arrest the enzymatic reaction. Kelchner's production process has been refined over nearly 90 years to maintain consistent heat intensity and fresh flavor.
The product line extends beyond plain horseradish to include hot mustard with horseradish, cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, and the traditional horseradish with beets — a Pennsylvania German variation that combines two regional staples. Each product uses the same commitment to simple, recognizable ingredients that defined the original 1938 recipe.
What Sets Them Apart
Kelchner's occupies the prepared horseradish category with genuine regional heritage. Most prepared horseradish is a commodity product produced by large food manufacturers with no particular connection to regional tradition. Kelchner's Lititz, Pennsylvania origin and nearly 90 years of continuous production represent something different: a small regional manufacturer that has maintained its location, its recipes, and its identity through the consolidation wave that swept most specialty condiment makers into multinational ownership.
For buyers who use horseradish regularly — in cocktail sauce, on beef, as a condiment for smoked fish, or in Pennsylvania Dutch applications like horseradish-and-beet relish — Kelchner's quality and regional authenticity make it the most credible American-made choice in the category.
