The Benefits of Holle Baby Formula’s Natural and Organic Ingredients

Holle is one of the oldest baby food companies in Europe. In 1933, Albert Diefenbach in Arlesheim founded the joint-stock company Holle-Nährmittel-AG. This gave rise to the production of healthy and organic baby food. Even back then, anthroposophical-oriented nutritional science and biodynamic quality were the key pillars of the company philosophy. The company is proud of its rich history and the fact that Holle has established itself as a leading manufacturer of the best organic formulas and the healthiest baby food.

The Principles of Holle’s Bay Formulas Manufacturing

Quality expectations are never as high as when it comes to baby products. From the very beginning, the brand’s products were produced in a natural way, so already 90 years ago, the use of chemical processing substances and preservatives was uncompromisingly abandoned.

Even today, only raw materials from organic and biodynamic agriculture are used for the production of baby food, which is processed safely and at full value: this is the basis for the exceptional quality of Holle baby food.

To this day, Holle is the only provider in Europe with an almost complete range of Demeter-quality baby food. 

Here are the guarantees of the highest product safety:

• no pesticides or chemical fertilizers are used in the cultivation of the raw material;
• only biodynamic or organic food is given to animals;
• by maintaining close partnerships with Demeter-certified farmers, the company is guaranteed a constant supply of high-quality raw materials;
• the company takes care of the proper processing and preparation of the raw material by using a continuous quality control system;
• each food product is subject to continuous inspection to ensure compliance with the strictest legal, nutritional, and safety requirements;
• baby meals do not contain genetically modified ingredients, artificial colors, flavor enhancers, preservatives, or refined sugar.

Furthermore, Demeter farmers always consider the species-specific characteristics of plants and animals. The painful dehorning of cows is consistently avoided. Thanks to grazing on biodynamically cultivated meadows, the forage is uncontaminated, which guarantees the highest quality of milk in Holle dairy products. Organic vegetable oils are a source of crucial fatty acids, and maltodextrin from organic corn starch makes baby formulas extra creamy. The remaining approx. 1% of the formula ingredients are vitamins and minerals required for the baby’s proper growth and development.

Benefits of Holle Organic Ingredients

Here are the main advantages of natural and organic Holle baby formulas:

• they contain an age-appropriate amount of easily digestible protein, obtained from organic cow or goat milk;
• they contain a balanced complex of necessary vitamins, minerals, and trace elements;
• they are adapted to the needs of babies in the first months of life;
• they contain natural calcium from organic milk and calcium carbonate from natural mineral sources, which are critical for bone formation and growth;
• they contain natural polyunsaturated fatty acids (ARA/DNA, Omega-3, and Omega-6) required for proper brain and vision development.

The absence of unnecessary chemical compounds that can affect digestion and immunity, which are just forming, makes organic products the most useful for infants and toddlers.
