Kuner Sauce Tartare

Kuner Sauce Tartare

Kuner is one of Austria's most iconic food brands, deeply rooted in the country's culinary traditions since its founding in the early 20th century. Originally, Kuner was part of the Austro-Hungarian food industry landscape, eventually becoming a household name under the ownership of the Swiss-German conglomerate Unilever. It is best known for its wide range of mayonnaises, ketchups, and specialized sauces like this Sauce Tartare, which is commonly paired with traditional Austrian dishes such as Wiener Schnitzel or fried mushrooms.

In the late 2010s, as Unilever sought to streamline its portfolio, it sold its spreads and margarines division to KKR, an American private equity firm. This resulted in the formation of Upfield. Today, Kuner is part of the Upfield group, which is currently the world's leading producer of plant-based spreads and margarines. While the brand retains its Austrian heritage and strong market presence in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), the ultimate ownership lies with Upfield, headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Manufacturing often occurs across various European facilities specialized in emulsified sauces to serve the broader European market.
