Sondey Maria biscuits

Sondey Maria biscuits are a popular brand of traditional plain sweet biscuits, often referred to as Marie biscuits. The Sondey brand is a private label used exclusively by the German global discount supermarket chain Lidl. While the brand itself is German in origin, the production of these biscuits occurs across a vast network of suppliers throughout Europe, including countries like Spain, Portugal, and Germany, depending on the specific regional market and supply logistics.

Owned by the Schwarz Group, Sondey represents Lidl's commitment to providing high-quality pantry staples at affordable prices. The Maria biscuit style actually dates back to 19th-century England, though it has become a staple in many European cultures. As a private label, the ultimate ownership rests with the Schwarz Group, which is one of the world's largest retail organizations based in Neckarsulm, Germany.
