Knorr Wereldgerechten

Knorr Wereldgerechten (World Dishes) is a popular line of meal kits designed to help consumers prepare international cuisines easily at home. The brand Knorr was originally founded in Germany in 1838 by Carl Heinrich Knorr, who pioneered drying techniques for spices and vegetables to preserve flavor.

Today, Knorr is one of the world's largest food brands and is the flagship food brand under Unilever's portfolio. While the brand has German roots, the 'Wereldgerechten' line is highly specialized for the Dutch and European markets. Manufacturing takes place across multiple countries depending on the specific kit components, though significant production facilities are located in Europe to serve the regional demand. Unilever maintains ultimate ownership, managing the brand from its global headquarters while ensuring local adaptations for different culinary cultures.
