When it comes to authentic German sausages, few producers can claim the deep-rooted history and mastery that Remagen brings to the table. With over 300 years of experience, this family-owned business has honed the art of sausage-making, creating products that are not only rich in flavour but also steeped in tradition. For caterers, restaurants, retailers, and event venues, partnering with a producer like Remagen ensures that you are offering your customers a product with an unmatched pedigree of quality and authenticity.

In this post, we’ll explore the rich history behind Remagen’s sausages, how their traditional methods contribute to their superior taste, and why their dedication to quality makes them an ideal partner for any professional food operation.

A Heritage of Excellence: Over 300 Years of Sausage-Making

Founded in 1718, Remagen began as a small family butchery near the Cologne Cathedral in Germany. What started as a modest operation has, over the centuries, grown into one of Germany’s most respected sausage producers. Throughout its long history, Remagen has remained a family-owned and operated business, passing down its sausage-making expertise through generations.

This family tradition is more than just a legacy; it’s a commitment to maintaining the highest standards of craftsmanship. Each generation has upheld the values of quality, dedication, and passion for creating the finest sausages. Today, Remagen is a respected name throughout Germany, supplying supermarkets, restaurants, and caterers with products that reflect over 300 years of consistent excellence.

Traditional Methods, Modern Quality

What sets Remagen’s sausages apart is their ability to combine centuries-old techniques with modern food safety and production standards. While many producers have opted for fully industrialised processes, Remagen stays true to its traditional roots by using artisanal methods in sausage production. This means hand-selected ingredients, carefully monitored smoking techniques, and recipes that have been perfected over centuries.

For example, Remagen’s sausages are smoked over beechwood, a traditional German method that imparts a distinctive, rich flavour to each sausage. The smoking process is carefully controlled to ensure that the sausages have the perfect balance of smokiness and natural meat flavours. Whether it’s their iconic Bratwurst, Frankfurter, or Krakauer, this attention to detail in production guarantees an authentic taste that customers will notice and appreciate.

In addition to their dedication to tradition, Remagen also prioritises quality control and safety. The company holds IFS certification, ensuring that their products meet the strictest international standards for food safety and quality. Their partnership with Baird Foods, which is BRC Grade A certified, guarantees that you are receiving products that are both authentic and of the highest safety standards.

Why Quality Matters for Professional Food Customers

For professional food customers such as caterers, restaurants, and retailers, offering high-quality, consistent products is essential to maintaining customer satisfaction and loyalty. When you serve Remagen’s sausages, you are not just offering a meal—you’re offering a taste of German culinary heritage. This level of authenticity is a strong selling point, particularly for establishments looking to provide a unique and memorable dining experience.

• Caterers: Remagen sausages are perfect for large-scale events, festivals, and weddings. Their pre-cooked options, like the Jumbo Bratwurst and Chilli Beef Frankfurter, are quick and easy to prepare, while still offering the full flavour of traditionally smoked sausages. Whether served at a Bavarian-themed event or as part of a casual outdoor buffet, these sausages are sure to impress.
• Restaurants: German food is becoming increasingly popular on menus around the world. Offering authentic German sausages made with traditional methods is a great way to stand out from the competition. Remagen’s sausages are versatile and pair well with a variety of sides, from mustard and sauerkraut to more contemporary accompaniments like craft beer-braised onions or pretzel buns.
• Retailers: Stocking products from a brand like Remagen signals to your customers that you are committed to providing the very best. Whether sold fresh or frozen, these sausages offer convenience without compromising on taste or quality. Retailers can also benefit from the longer shelf life of pre-cooked sausages, which reduces waste and increases profitability.
• Fun Parks & Event Venues: High-volume venues can benefit from the speed and ease of preparation offered by pre-cooked sausages. With Remagen’s products, you can serve thousands of customers quickly without sacrificing the authentic German flavour that keeps people coming back for more.

While Remagen is rooted in tradition, they are also a company that is constantly looking toward the future. The demand for high-quality, authentic food products is growing, and Remagen is committed to meeting that demand by continuing to produce sausages that adhere to their strict standards of quality and taste.
