Calvé is a historic food brand with deep roots in Europe. Originally founded in the late 19th century in the Netherlands as the Nederlandsche Oliefabriek (NOF) by Jacques van Marken, it later merged with the French company Calvé to become NOF-Calvé. The brand became famous for its mayonnaise and peanut butter before expanding into other condiments like ketchup.

Today, Calvé is a prominent brand within the portfolio of Unilever, one of the world's largest consumer goods companies. Due to its massive scale, the product is manufactured in various facilities across Europe and other regions to serve local markets. In Italy, where the packaging in the image originated (as evidenced by the Italian text 'Ingredienti Naturali'), the brand is managed under the local Unilever subsidiary. Calvé remains a household name in several European countries, known for its focus on quality ingredients and long-standing culinary heritage.
