The Four Thieves is an aromatic kraut in the European tradition. The particular herb mixture (lavender, sage, rosemary, and thyme) was believed to guard from the plague. They also make a most delicious sauerkraut. This flavor has become our signature kraut and is our best seller.
As the legend goes, four thieves were caught robbing various ill and dying individuals suffering from the plague. When brought before the court, they were offered a reduced sentence if they would divulge how they avoided catching the plague. Their secret, according to the legend? This herb mixture.
