Alesto Walnusskerne

Alesto is a well-known private label brand belonging to the German retail giant Lidl. The Alesto Selection Walnusskerne (Walnut Kernels) are marketed as a natural, plant-based snack rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. As a private label, the brand was developed specifically for Lidl to offer a range of nuts, dried fruits, and snack seeds across their European and international stores.

While the brand is rooted in Germany, the walnuts themselves are sourced from multiple countries depending on the season and harvest quality, with major producers including the USA (California), Chile, and Eastern European countries. The products are typically packaged in facilities across Europe to supply the local Lidl networks. The ultimate owner is the Schwarz Group, which remains one of the largest retail groups globally.
