Ardilla Nuss Variation

Ardilla is a private label brand primarily used by the German retailer Kaufland. The product, 'Nuss Variation', is a mixture of various nuts like walnuts, hazelnuts, and almonds. Because nuts are agricultural products sourced globally, the manufacturing or packing typically occurs in Germany or elsewhere in Europe, while the raw ingredients are sourced from multiple countries depending on seasonal availability (e.g., California for walnuts, Turkey for hazelnuts).

The brand 'Ardilla' (which means squirrel in Spanish) was established by Kaufland to offer a range of snack and nut products. As a private label, its ultimate ownership lies with the Schwarz Group, one of the world's largest retail conglomerates. The Schwarz Group manages various brands across its retail arms, Kaufland and Lidl, ensuring consistent quality and pricing across the European market.
