SILVER FLEECE SAUERKRAUT
The Product That Started It All
Our Silver Fleece Sauerkraut is a German style kraut made the traditional way with locally grown cabbage, water, and salt. Our first barrel of sauerkraut was packed by our founder Carl R. Hirzel when he had more fresh cabbages grown on his Northwood, Ohio farm than he could sell. Not wanting to waste his crop, his wife Lena suggested taking some of the cabbage, shredding it, and fermenting it into sauerkraut!
Since 1923, we have been doing the same; sharing the finest sauerkraut with families across the Midwest region.

The Best Sauerkraut Starts with Locally Grown Cabbage
Just like Dei Fratelli Tomatoes, all of the cabbage that is grown for Silver Fleece Sauerkraut is grown on local, family farms in Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan! After harvesting, we shred the cabbage, add salt, and naturally ferment it in stainless steel tanks until perfectly aged. Once it’s ready, we pack the sauerkraut and pasteurize it just enough to preserve that bold, tangy taste everyone craves. It’s the same method we’ve used for over 100 years!
Silver Fleece Sauerkraut was our family’s first product and we are proud to continue producing the finest, traditional German-style kraut made with simple, quality ingredients.
What is Sauerkraut?
Sauerkraut is finely shredded, fermented cabbage with a distinctive sour and slightly salty flavor. The fermentation process creates probiotics and gives sauerkraut its’ unique, tangy taste! The Germans gave sauerkraut its name which translates as “Sour Cabbage”.
