Pierwsza Warszawska Fabryka Musztardy "Arthur et Co."

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Pierwsza Warszawska Fabryka Musztardy "Arthur et Co." (also: Fabryka Musztardy A. Oppmana "Arthur et Co." , Parowa Fabryka Musztardy; Marynat i Konserwów "Arthur et Co." or only: Fabryka Musztardy "Arthur" ) was a Mustard factory in Warsaw 's Wola district . Besides A. Schweitzer's factory, it was the oldest company of its kind in Warsaw.

The German-born, Protestant Artur Emil Oppman (1840–1907) bought a mustard factory in ul. Leszno 4 in 1880 . From then on, the company traded under the name Pierwsza Warszawska Fabryka Musztardy "Artur et Co." (German: First Warsaw mustard factory "Artur et Co." ). The factory was later taken over by one of his sons, Wacław Oppman (1869–1933). The factory remained in family ownership until around 1938. One of the company's products received a Grand Prix at the 1906 hygiene exhibition in Paris. A recipe for “Dutch mustard” ( Musztarda z gorczycy holenderskiej ) published by Oppman called for mustard to be boiled with vinegar, fine sugar, caramel and olive oil.
