Hengstenberg Mildessa Mildes Sauerkraut mit Speck

Mildessa is a premium brand of sauerkraut produced by the German company Hengstenberg. Founded in 1876 in Esslingen am Neckar, Hengstenberg has remained a family-owned enterprise for generations, specializing in high-quality pickles, vinegar, and kraut products.

Mildessa is particularly known as the first brand to introduce ready-to-eat, mild-tasting sauerkraut to the German market in the 1950s. The cabbage used for this product is sourced from 100% German cultivation, primarily from regions like the Filder plain. The manufacturing process centers around traditional fermentation refined with modern convenience packaging, allowing for quick preparation within two minutes. The brand remains entirely under the ownership of Hengstenberg GmbH & Co. KG, maintaining its status as a staple of German culinary heritage.
