Pretz

Pretz is a popular brand of pretzel-like snack food products produced by Glico, a Japanese confectionery company. The product line includes a wide variety of flavors, both savory and sweet, and is sold in many countries around the world.

History

Glico introduced Pretz in 1963 as a new type of snack food. The product was designed to be a portable, non-perishable snack that could be enjoyed at any time. The name "Pretz" is a combination of "pretzel" and "sticks", reflecting the product's shape and inspiration.

Product

Pretz are thin, crisp, pretzel-like sticks that come in a variety of flavors. The original flavor is a simple, lightly salted pretzel taste, but over the years, Glico has introduced many other flavors. These include savory options like tomato, salad, and roast, as well as sweet flavors like caramel and chocolate. Some flavors are only available in certain countries or regions, reflecting local tastes and preferences.

Production

Pretz are made by mixing flour, water, and other ingredients to form a dough. The dough is then rolled out and cut into thin strips. These strips are baked until they are crisp and golden brown. After baking, the sticks are flavored and packaged.

Popularity

Pretz has become a popular snack food in many countries around the world. In Japan, it is often enjoyed with beer or as a snack between meals. In other countries, it is popular as a snack for children or as a light, portable snack for people on the go.
