Heinz Mayo Das Original

Heinz Mayonnaise, often labeled as 'Das Original' in German-speaking markets, is a cornerstone of the global Kraft Heinz portfolio. The brand traces its heritage back to Henry J. Heinz, who founded the company in 1869 in Sharpsburg, Pennsylvania, USA. While the brand is quintessentially American in origin, its products are manufactured worldwide. For the European market, Heinz operates significant production facilities in the Netherlands (Elst) and Poland, ensuring local supply chains and regional taste preferences are met.

Today, the brand is owned by The Kraft Heinz Company, which was formed through the high-profile merger of Kraft Foods and H.J. Heinz Company in 2015. Headquartered in Chicago and Pittsburgh, the conglomerate is one of the largest food and beverage companies globally. The ownership structure remains stable heading into 2026, with major investment firms like Berkshire Hathaway maintaining significant stakes. In Germany, the product is typically managed and distributed by Heinz Kraft Service GmbH.
