Mautner Markhof Feinkost

Mautner Markhof Feinkost is an Austrian fine food company whose origins trace to 1841, when Ignaz Mautner Ritter von Markhof leased the St. Marx brewery in Vienna. Over the following decades it expanded into vinegar, mustard, fruit juice, and syrup production, creating enduring Austrian kitchen staples such as Hesperiden vinegar and Original Estragon mustard. The company describes itself as a traditional Austrian business with over 230 products based on long-standing house recipes.

The company's history begins in Vienna in 1841, when Ignaz Mautner Ritter von Markhof, originally from Bohemia, leased the St. Marx brewery in Vienna and later purchased it. In 1903, vinegar production began with wine spirit vinegar and fruit vinegars. In 1921, mustard production started, leading to classics such as the spicy Original Estragon Senf and the sweet Original Kremser Senf. In 1927, Hesperiden vinegar was introduced, named after the guardians of the apple orchard of the mother goddess Hera, offering a milder alternative with only 7.5% acidity. In 1929, fruit juice production began, and in the early 1930s the first syrup was launched. After the war years, during which operations were partially closed, the range was expanded to include horseradish (Kren) and fine foods. The syrup range evolved from raspberry, orangeade, and citronade in the late 1940s.
