Hellmanns products have been staples in American kitchens for generations. The brands flagship product, Hellmanns Real Mayonnaise, is the best-selling mayonnaise in the United States. Mayonnaise is said to be the invention of the French chef of the Duke de Richelieu in 1756. While the Duke was defeating the British at Port Mahon, his chef was creating a victory feast that included a sauce made of cream and eggs. When the chef realized that there was no cream in the kitchen, he improvised, substituting olive oil for the cream. A new culinary masterpiece was born, and the chef named it Mahonnaise in honor of the Dukes victory. In 1905, two years after arriving in the United States, German immigrant Richard Hellmann opened up a delicatessen in New York City. His wifes delectable recipe for mayonnaise was featured in salads and sold in the deli, and the condiment quickly became so popular that Hellmann began selling it in wooden boats that were used for weighing butter. Originally, two versions of the recipe were sold, and to distinguish between them, Hellmann put a blue ribbon around one. The ribbon version was in such high demand that in 1912, Hellmann designed what is today the iconic Blue Ribbon label, to be placed on larger glass jars. At the same time that Hellmanns Mayonnaise was flourishing in the East, Best Foods, Inc., introduced mayonnaise to Californian consumers. As Hellmanns expanded on the east coast, Best Foods proved to be a smashing success in the West. It was nearly inevitable that in 1932 Richard Hellmann Inc. was acquired by Best Foods, Inc. To this day, Hellmanns Mayonnaise is sold east of the Rockies and Best Foods Mayonnaise is sold west. Hellmanns has always recognized consumers demand for new and delicious products, and their desire to eat real foods. Join our group of 80,000 satisfied customers!
