Alesto Walnuts in Shell

Alesto is a popular private-label brand primarily found in Lidl supermarkets across Europe. The brand specializes in a wide variety of nuts, dried fruits, and snack mixes. Because Alesto is a retailer-owned brand, the products are sourced from various global suppliers depending on seasonality and harvest conditions, meaning the nuts could originate from countries such as France, Chile, or the USA.

The brand is owned by the Schwarz Group, a German multinational retail group that operates the Lidl and Kaufland chains. As a private label, Alesto allows the retailer to control the supply chain and offer 2026-standard quality snacks at a competitive price point. The ultimate owner remains based in Germany, managing distribution through its vast network of grocery stores.
