Revonah Pretzel

Reviewed By patluvstogo - Fayette City, United States

I visited the factory as part of a small tour group. The owner met us outside and explained the history of the business and the process that makes their pretzels so special. Did you ever know that the water makes a huge difference in the dough?? We then toured the small area where 3,000 hand-made pretzels are made daily. Three people were twisting soft pretzels during our visit. After learning about how both the hard and soft pretzels were make, we were treated to a yummy soft pretzel. They have a small retail space where we purchased a bag of hard sour dough pretzels. The business is located on a small street (alley) with only a small faded sign directing you back, but it is worth finding this hidden gem! While you can order their products online, you will only find their products within a 20 mile radius of Hanover.
