Hearth Baked Sourdough Pretzel Production for Hempzels since 1998.

Preparation of Hempzel™ Crunchy "Peaces" at REVONAH PRETZEL FACTORY in Hanover, Pennsylvania facility- Tours Now Available. Call first

 Hempzels™  was the first company to use hemp seed in a traditional Pennsylvania Dutch hard pretzel.  Ground hemp seed meal was used in the production of The Original Hemp Pretzel. After further research the switch to shelled hemp seed combined with unbleached winter wheat flour produced the now famous gourmet sourdough pretzel. Referred to as "PEACES" in reference to the prohibition & ignorance of hemp & since a majority have been shipped for years via mail & they get broken up it was a great play on words.  Hempzels™ - Original - Sesame - Jalapeno - Garlic & now Pumpernickel & Onion. Here the secret dough mix gets divided and hand twisted.   

Racked these Hempzels™ are then loaded row after row , loaded into the gigantic circular old stone hearth, which slowly rotates and bakes them a golden brown.  They are mixed in 100lb batches per flavor. They are fresh baked with no artificial preservatives. Bagged in 10oz Bags .

In 1999 Food Distribution Magazine, awarded Hempzel's™ Sesame Pretzel 2nd place out of 30 pretzel submissions as best tasting pretzel.. Beat out by a chocolate covered pretzel rod submitted by a company in Ohio.

Fresh Baked Hempzels™ leaving the oven - they will be racked & dried for 24 hours then packaged for your enjoyment!

 Due to shipping and handling and the fact that gluten is not present in hemp seed or organic brown rice flour many of our delectable pretzel will become broken during transit. Referred with love as "PEACES"  We take every packing; precaution to ensure that this does not happen. However, we can not; guarantee that all pretzels will remain whole and are not responsible for this unfortunate occurrence.
