The Ostermühle - manufacturing expertise for over 700 years.


The Ostermühle is one of the leading private label manufacturers of organic soup pearls in Germany. At our location in Elchingen, Bavaria, which opened in 2016, we produce this Swabian-Bavarian specialty in the highest quality on the most modern systems. Here the balancing act between traditional craftsmanship and the most modern production methods succeeds.

This branch of business emerged from our classic grain mill at our headquarters in Langenau near Ulm in Württemberg. The Ostermühle was first mentioned there in 1297 and has been in the family for over 200 years, now in the 7th generation. Ostermühle has been a manufacturer partner of Bioland and is certified organic since 1993.

Today, the core competencies of Ostermühle are, on the one hand, the production of the salty snacks and soup pearls product areas. These are specially developed and produced in premium quality for private label customers.

On the other hand, we operate a wholesale business with spelt noodles and natural food products in Langenau, Württemberg.

What drives us today as much as in the past is the passion for spelt and its artisanal processing into honest, healthy and delicious food.

This is no coincidence, because the Ostermühle is located at the foot of the Swabian Alb, where high-quality spelt has been grown for many centuries. There, on the high altitudes with its barren soil and harsh climate, the spelt thrives excellently.
