List of Pretzel Companies

A pretzel is a type of baked bread product made from dough most commonly shaped into a twisted knot. Pretzels originated in Europe, possibly among monks in the Early Middle Ages. The traditional pretzel shape is a distinctive non-symmetrical form, with the ends of a long strip of dough intertwined and then twisted back onto itself in a certain way. Pretzels are now enjoyed worldwide and are produced by numerous companies. This article provides a list of notable pretzel companies.
