Nestlé Carnation Creamy Evaporated Milk

Carnation is a historic brand synonymous with evaporated milk, originally founded in the United States in 1899 by Elbridge Amos Stuart as the Pacific Coast Condensed Milk Company. The brand became famous for its 'Contented Cows' slogan and its innovations in shelf-stable dairy technology.

In 1985, Nestlé acquired the Carnation Company in what was then one of the largest acquisitions in corporate history. Today, Nestlé continues to own and manage the brand globally, including in Australia, where the product is a staple in both sweet and savory cooking. While the brand has American roots, the product sold in Australia is typically manufactured locally using Australian fresh milk to meet regional quality standards and consumer demand.
