Hellmann's Jemný Kečup

Hellmann's Jemný Kečup is a mild tomato ketchup specifically marketed in Central and Eastern European countries like the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The brand's history dates back to 1913, when German immigrant Richard Hellmann began selling his now-famous mayonnaise from his delicatessen in New York City. While initially famous for mayonnaise characterized by its iconic 'Blue Ribbon' quality, the brand expanded into various other condiments including ketchup and salad dressings.

Today, Hellmann's is part of the global portfolio of Unilever, following the 2000 acquisition of Bestfoods. While the brand has its roots in the United States, production for the European market is distributed across various regional facilities to ensure freshness and efficiency. For the Central European market, manufacturing often occurs in locations such as Poland or other neighboring EU countries where Unilever operates specialized condiment production lines. The product is known for using sustainably sourced tomatoes and is certified as vegan-friendly.
