Alesto Nut Mix with Olives

Alesto is a popular private label brand specializing in nuts, seeds, and dried fruits. The Nut Mix with Olives featured in the image is a savory snack combination typically consisting of peanuts, almonds, cashews, and dried olive rings.

The brand is a proprietary label of the German discount giant Lidl. While the raw ingredients like cashews and almonds are sourced globally from regions where they grow naturally, the final processing, roasting, and packaging for the European market often take place in specialized facilities in Germany. Specifically, the Schwarz Produktion group (a sister company of Lidl) operates large-scale nut and dried fruit processing plants, such as the one in Übach-Palenberg, to supply stores across the continent.

Ownership of the Alesto brand rests with the Schwarz Group, one of the largest retail conglomerates in the world. Based in Germany, the group manages both Lidl and Kaufland, maintaining tight control over its supply chain through its internal production division to ensure competitive pricing and quality standards.
