Mondamin corn starch and thickeners

Mondamin is a historic German brand that has been a staple in kitchens for over 100 years. Founded in 1896, it became famous for its corn starch which revolutionized cooking by providing a reliable way to thicken sauces and desserts. The brand name itself was inspired by the Ojibwe word for corn, reflecting its agricultural roots.

Historically, the brand was developed by the Mondamin company in Berlin. Over the decades, through the consolidation of the global food industry, the brand joined the portfolio of Unilever. Today, it remains a dominant household name in Central Europe, particularly in Germany, and continues to expand its product line to include quick sauces, roux, and bake mixes.

While the brand's heritage is German, it is now part of a global supply chain managed by Unilever. Most production for the European market takes place in Germany, adhering to strict quality standards that have maintained the brand's reputation for reliability in domestic and professional culinary use.
