EDEKA Mischstreichfett 65%

Brand Origin and Overview

EDEKA is Germany's largest supermarket corporation, originally established in 1898 in Berlin as a cooperative purchasing association for independent grocers (E.d.K.: Einkaufsgenossenschaft der Kolonialwarenhändler im Halleschen Torbezirk zu Berlin). Over the decades, it grew into a cooperative federation comprising thousands of independent merchants and regional wholesale cooperatives.

Manufacturing

The product shown is a private-label spreadable blended butterfat (Mischstreichfett 65%, combining mild soured butter, water, and rapeseed oil). The packaging displays German veterinary identification approval codes (such as DE SN 016 EG and DE BY 132 EG), indicating production and packaging in Germany by specialized dairy processing partners on behalf of EDEKA.

Ownership and Structure

The brand is owned by the EDEKA group, headed by EDEKA ZENTRALE Stiftung & Co. KG based in Hamburg, Germany. The group operates under a cooperative system largely owned by independent retail grocers organized into regional associations.
