Hellmann's Real Mayonnaise and Sauces

Hellmann's is a historic condiment brand that traces its roots back to 1913 in New York City, where Richard Hellmann opened his deli and began selling his wife's signature mayonnaise recipe. The brand eventually became an American household staple, recognizable by its iconic blue ribbon logo.

Today, Hellmann's is a global powerhouse in the condiments industry, produced in various facilities across North America, Europe, and other regions to serve local markets. In the United Kingdom and many other parts of the world, it is marketed under the Hellmann's name, while in the Western United States, it is known as Best Foods.

The brand is currently owned by Unilever, a British multinational consumer goods company. As of 2026 and beyond, Unilever continues to manage Hellmann's as a core part of its nutrition portfolio, focusing on sustainable sourcing for its ingredients, such as 100% cage-free eggs and responsibly sourced oils.
