Marcel Boehli was the owner of a small bakery and baked delicious fresh pretzels. They were distributed to bars and restaurants throughout the region and became very successful. A few years later, the success was so great that Mr. Boehli was obliged to find a new production system in order to keep up with the demand.

That is why the pretzels are made only with natural products, excluding colorants, preservative and additives. The taste has not changed since 1935.
