Jif Peanut Butter

Jif is a leading brand of peanut butter that has become a staple in households across North America since its introduction in the mid-1950s. Known for its creamy texture and distinctively roasted peanut flavor, it has maintained its position as the top-selling peanut butter brand in the United States for several decades.

The brand's history began when Procter & Gamble purchased Big Top peanut butter and reformulated it to compete with other leading brands, eventually launching under the 'Jif' name. Over the years, the brand has expanded its product line to include crunchy, natural, and reduced-fat varieties, as well as almond and cashew butters.

Today, Jif is owned by The J.M. Smucker Company, which acquired the brand from Procter & Gamble in 2002. The primary manufacturing facility for Jif is located in Lexington, Kentucky, which is recognized as one of the largest peanut butter production plants in the world. While the brand remains deeply rooted in American culinary culture, its products are distributed internationally, maintaining a global presence under the Smucker's corporate umbrella.
