Maizena Flanín El Niño dessert mix

Maizena is a globally recognized brand originally known for cornstarch, founded in the United States in the mid-19th century. The specific product shown, 'Flanín El Niño', is a specialized dessert mix deeply rooted in Spanish culinary culture, originally created by a Spanish pharmacist in the early 20th century before being integrated into the Maizena portfolio.

Today, the brand is owned by the British multinational Unilever. For the Spanish market, these products are typically manufactured in local or regional European facilities to maintain the specific texture and flavor profiles expected by local consumers. Unilever manages the brand's distribution and global strategy from its headquarters in London, keeping the traditional 'El Niño' imagery while updating the formula for modern dietary needs, such as gluten-free requirements.
