Hellmann's Original Mayonnaise

Hellmann's is one of the world's most iconic mayonnaise brands, with a history dating back to 1913. It was founded by Richard Hellmann, a German immigrant who opened a delicatessen in New York City. His 'Blue Ribbon' mayonnaise became so popular that it eventually transitioned from a deli staple to a globally recognized consumer product.

Today, the brand is owned by the British multinational conglomerate Unilever. Due to its massive global scale, Hellmann's is produced in numerous manufacturing facilities worldwide to serve different regional markets. While the brand maintains its American heritage, it is an integral part of Unilever's international food portfolio, often sold under the 'Best Foods' name in the western United States and other specific territories. This specific jar features Romanian labeling ('Sos de Maioneza'), indicating it is part of Unilever's supply chain for the European market.
