The Story of Kunella Feinkost

At Kunella Feinkost, based in the Spreewald region, we believe that high quality products are the key to success and should be always our focus. Under our umbrella brand 'Kunella Feinkost' we produce a wide assortment of several delicacies in the following product groups:

  • Mayonnaise, remoulade sauce, salad dressing
  • Edible oils, specialty oils
  • Ketchup, sauces
  • Traditional "Spreewald" horseradish

We only use selected and tested ingredients for our quality products. The natural taste is preserved through our gentle processing techniques. The original linseed oil from the Lausitz area, the “Lausitzer Leinöl”, and the salad and delicacy mayonnaise for example are particularly popular due to their special fresh taste and distinctive piquant note. Our fans say: "The Kunella mayonnaise tastes like in the old days - really natural."
In Germany our typical customers are the food traders, including supermarkets, discounters, hypermarkets and smaller food retailers. We also deliver to well-known Cash and Carry brands as well as large scale consumer markets.
We are proud to say that we started exporting our products successfully to Eastern European countries. This achievement encourages us to now increasingly establish trade contacts with the Western European markets, the Far East and start selling overseas.
