LieblingsKren

The farms.

LieblingsKren loves loamy soils, which are especially fertile thanks to their high proportion of decomposed minerals and ability to store nutrients and water effectively. 

Our horseradish enjoys lavish care during its vegetation period and painstaking further processing. Every single root has to be dug up and replanted by hand several times in order to remove unnecessary side shoots from the main root. This is the only way to ensure LieblingsKren’s unique quality of freshness. Fastidious selection guarantees that only horseradish roots of the highest level of quality are prepared.

The cultivation of horseradish is thus notably more labour-intensive than, for example, that of pumpkins or maize. A field can only be planted with horseradish every three to four years because there has to be natural crop rotation in order to renew and stabilise soil fertility sustainably. Crop rotation is an essential constituent part of modern agricultural management and of conventional, as well as organic, farming.
