Ültje Erdnüsse roasted and salted peanuts

Ültje is a premier snack brand specializing in nuts and nut-based products, particularly known for its iconic roasted peanuts. The brand traces its origins back to 1867 when the Russell family founded a company in Emden, Germany, focusing on tea and nut imports. In 1949, they officially registered the brand name 'Ültje', which is a Low German diminutive for 'peanut'.

Today, Ültje is owned by the Intersnack Group, a massive European snack conglomerate headquartered in Düsseldorf. While the raw materials (peanuts) are sourced globally from regions like the USA, Argentina, and Brazil, the roasting and packaging primarily occur at specialized facilities in Germany (such as in Schwerte). The Intersnack Group is one of the largest snack producers in Europe, managing a vast portfolio of local and international brands.
