Hengstenberg Mildessa Mild Wine Sauerkraut

Hengstenberg Mildessa is one of Germany's most iconic sauerkraut brands. Founded in 1876 by Richard Alfried Hengstenberg in Esslingen am Neckar, the company has established itself as a leading producer of vinegar, pickles, and fermented vegetables.

The Mildessa product line is particularly famous for its mild-tasting wine sauerkraut, which is produced primarily in Germany using locally sourced cabbage. The brand remains under the ownership of Hengstenberg Gmbh & Co. KG, which continues to be a family-owned business, maintaining its headquarters in Esslingen. This independence ensures that traditional recipes and high German quality standards are maintained across their product portfolio.
