You're Invited to our Kitchen of Wonders
As a family of bakers and candy makers, Priester's Pecans takes great
pride in the freshness, aroma, and flavor of our pecans. Only the very
best go into your desserts, snacks and candies. That's why we've decided
to invite you into our kitchen for a tour of our facilities. Just like
visitors to our retail stores can watch our bakers and cooks creating
mouth-watering works of delicious art, we'd like to offer you, the
online shopper, the opportunity to enjoy that same pleasurable
experience. It's that famous Southern hospitality now available online!
Sir and Madam, right this way please...

One November night a few years back, our store was burned to the ground.
In our struggle to rebuild a new store, one to better serve you, a
features we decided to incorporate was the ability of our retail store
shoppers to watch our candy makers and bakers in action. So we built a
veiwing gallery overlooking our advanced kitchen. You may see chocolates
being enrobed, divinity
and fudge being dipped, pecan
logs being rolled in caramel and cakes,
pies and brownies
being baked.
Please come into our kitchen
Below you'll see where we make our famous Fiddlesticks.
First we select our best quality pecan
pieces, sorting and sifting the pecans until they're level in their
baking sheets. Then comes the chocolate covering. When dry, Fiddlesticks
are sliced and packaged either by themselves or in other fine Priester's
pecan products such as our popular Southern
Delights Sampler.

Below is the view to our kitchen where we make our pecan
candies. Our skilled bakers are sorting the pecans for only the
freshest, plumpest pecan
halves become candy. It's important that the pecans are evenly
spaced. This allows the chocolate to properly cover the entire pecan.
Essentially, this is a converyer belt and the pecans are conveyed under
a "river" of chocolate. Here they're getting pecans ready to be enrobed
in white chocolate. This our Chocolate Room. Can you smell it already?
