HOW KOCH'S PRODUCTS ARE MADE
1
HARVEST
As soon as the horseradish stops growing, it is harvested. It is placed in special transport pallets and can therefore be transported "first class" without any stress or pressure.
2
STORAGE
In our cold stores, we use an optimized process to control and regulate the humidity of the horseradish. A special foil hood is pulled over the pallet to prevent it from drying out.
3
HAND READING
When the horseradish comes out of refrigeration, we give it five days to "wake up" in peace. During this time, it is regularly given water to stimulate it. It soon shows small green tips - the sign that it is still alive and can continue to be processed.
4
WASH & PEEL
After cleaning on a conveyor belt in a water bath, the horseradish roots are peeled and chopped by machine.
5
COMBINE INGREDIENTS
Various ingredients are added to the chopped horseradish, depending on the desired product. These are blended into a fine mass in a closed machine.
6
FILLING
The product is gently bottled in our filling plant. This ensures that all healthy and spicy substances are retained.
7
SEALING & LABELING
The jars are capped, labeled and vacuum-sealed. The product is ready.
Our figures clearly show how much first-class quality is appreciated: As an internationally successful company, we sell in 36 countries, about 2 1/2 thousand tons of horseradish roots, 30 million jars, 10 million tubes and 500 thousand buckets - annually. We sell around 400 products worldwide.
