Knorr Witte Saus is a popular dry sauce mix used to create a classic white sauce (Béchamel) for various dishes. The Knorr brand has a rich history dating back to 1838 when Carl Heinrich Knorr founded the company in Heilbronn, Germany. Initially, the company focused on drying chicory and vegetables to maintain their nutritional value and flavor, eventually leading to the development of the first Knorr dried soups and bouillon cubes. Knorr's products are now staples in kitchens worldwide, available in over 80 countries.

Today, Knorr is one of the centerpiece brands in the portfolio of Unilever, a British multinational consumer goods company. While the brand originated in Germany, its manufacturing is now distributed across multiple international facilities to serve global demand. In European markets like Belgium and the Netherlands (where 'Witte Saus' is predominant), products are often distributed by regional subsidiaries under the Unilever umbrella, ensuring local availability and adherence to regional culinary preferences.
