Knorr Aromat Seasoning

Knorr Aromat Seasoning is a versatile seasoning powder developed in Switzerland in 1952 by Walter Obrist for Knorr Thayngen, the Swiss branch of the German food company Knorr. Originally introduced as 'Pflanzenextrakt' (plant extract) in cube form, it was rebranded as Aromat in 1953 and transformed into a powdered seasoning. The product is designed to enhance the flavor of various dishes, including meats, vegetables, soups, sauces, rice dishes, and salads. Its ingredients typically include salt, monosodium glutamate (MSG), yeast extract, wheat or corn flour, and various herbs and spices. Over the years, Aromat has gained popularity in several countries, including Switzerland and South Africa. The brand is currently owned by Unilever, a multinational company headquartered in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. Manufacturing of Aromat occurs in multiple countries, including Switzerland, Germany, and India, to cater to diverse markets.
