Knorr Stocki mashed potatoes

Knorr Stocki is a popular brand of instant mashed potatoes specifically marketed in Switzerland. The brand Knorr was founded in 1838 by Carl Heinrich Theodor Knorr in Heilbronn, Germany, and originally focused on drying chicory and vegetables. Over time, Knorr expanded globally, becoming synonymous with bouillon cubes, soups, and convenient food bases.

The specific 'Stocki' line is a Swiss staple, produced at the Knorr factory in Thayngen, Switzerland, which has been operational since 1907. While the brand originated in Germany, Knorr is now a flagship food brand under the British multinational Unilever. Unilever, headquartered in London, acquired Knorr through its purchase of Bestfoods in 2000, and it continues to manage the brand's global distribution and regional variations like Stocki.
