Ardilla Obstmischung

Ardilla is a private-label brand primarily associated with the German discount retailer Aldi Nord. The brand name is used for a variety of snack products, particularly nuts and dried fruit mixes like the "Obstmischung" (Fruit Mix) shown in the image.

As a private label, Ardilla products are manufactured by various third-party suppliers on behalf of Aldi. Since the ingredients (such as plums, apricots, apples, and peaches) are often sourced globally, the final production and packaging typically occur in multiple locations across Europe or are consolidated by large scale snack manufacturers in Germany to meet the discounter's distribution needs.

The ultimate owner of the Ardilla brand is Aldi Nord (specifically the foundations that control it). Founded by the Albrecht family, the company split into two independent entities, Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd, in the 1960s. Today, Aldi Nord operates thousands of stores across Europe and owns the American grocery chain Trader Joe's. The brand follows Aldi’s vertical integration strategy, providing high-quality store-brand alternatives to national snack brands.
