Remia Fritessaus

Remia is a quintessential Dutch brand that revolutionized the kitchen in the mid-20th century. Founded in 1925 by Arie de Rooij, the company started as a small margarine mixing business in Amersfoort. By the 1960s, it achieved legendary status with the invention of 'Fritessaus,' a lower-fat alternative to mayonnaise that became the standard accompaniment for fries in the Netherlands.

Today, Remia remains a family-owned enterprise, retaining its independence in an era of global food conglomerates. The brand operates one of the most modern sauce factories in Europe, located in Den Dolder. Its production processes emphasize high automation and sustainability, ensuring that its wide array of ketchups, dressings, and specialty sauces are manufactured entirely within the Netherlands for both domestic consumption and international export to over 100 countries.
