Creamy dressings
Creamy or emulsified dressings are prepared with dairy products such as yoghurt or crème fraîche, among other things. They are thicker and cling better to the salad, giving it an especially creamy note.

Step by step
Good dressings are made with good preparation
Before the actual dressing production can begin some preparations need to be made. The ingredients required are weighed by hand and depending on the recipe instructions, weighed carefully, to achieve that consistent best taste and quality.
Mixing – where raw materials meet years of experience
Next, the ingredients such as rapeseed oil, herbs, spices and vinegar are added and mixed together. Incidentally, all Kühne dressings are made with no added colouring and preservatives.
Our refinement makes the difference
Yoghurt, crème fraîche or cream are added to many Kühne dressings to round out the flavour and give the dressing a creamy tart note.
We bring together what belongs together
During the homogenisation process, which is performed only with emulsified or mixed dressings, emulsifiers such as egg yolk are added to salad dressings to make the oil distribute finely in the dressing so that the oil cannot separate out again.
Reliable taste and top quality – also for the pantry
Afterwards, the product is gently heated to below 100° C to preserve it. This process is also called pasteurisation. The dressing can now be filled in 5 different bottle sizes or 3 different sachet sizes. Finally, the products are cooled, packed in boxes and ready for delivery.

Fresh facts
How it all began...
In 1973, we began making dressings with "Salatfix spicy herb" and were the first German producer. In those days, dressings were only imported from America and England which is why we can call ourselves the German inventor of salad dressings. We have been the no. 1 in non-cooled ready. made dressings for over 40 years.
Germany’s eating habits
All dressings are all alike no matter where you are, right? Not even close! Did you know that in Northern Germany, creamy dressings with yoghurt or crème fraîche are the preferred choice? Especially popular: Yoghurt dressing and Creamy Onion Dressing. In Southern Germany, however, salad dressings made from an oil and vinegar base tend to be preferred such as Fine Herbs Vinaigrette Dressing.
Consumption in Germany
Approximately 8.7% of the German population consumes salad dressing more than once a week. This corresponds to just under 7 million people. Incidentally, the Yoghurt Dressing is by far the most popular variety
Caesar salad – invented by the Roman emperor?
Many people believe that Caesar salad and Caesar dressing date back to ancient Rome and was named after the powerful dictator Gaius Julius Caesar who is said to have had a favourite salad. Yet, the truth is far less dramatic. The Italian-American Caesar Cardini ran a restaurant in Tijuana and invented the salad on 4 July 1924 because he ran out of raw materials and only salad was available.
