Knorr Kräuterlinge seasoning mix

Knorr Kräuterlinge is a popular herb and spice seasoning mix designed for sprinkling directly onto dishes like salads, vegetables, and pasta. The brand Knorr was founded in 1838 by Carl Heinrich Knorr in Heilbronn, Germany, where it initially specialized in drying chicory and later pioneered dehydrated vegetables and soups.

Today, Knorr is a global powerhouse in the food industry and serves as one of the flagship brands for Unilever, which acquired the brand in 2000 through its purchase of Bestfoods. While the brand has deep German roots and maintains significant production facilities in Heilbronn, its products are manufactured in various locations worldwide to serve over 90 different markets. The ownership remains with the British multinational Unilever, which continues to manage the brand as part of its extensive nutrition portfolio into 2026.
