Calvé Barbecue Sauce

Calvé is a historic brand specializing in sauces and condiments, originally founded in the Netherlands in 1898. Its origins are tied to the Nederlandsche Oliefabriek (NOF) established by Jacob Gijsbert van Marken, which later merged with the French company Calvé in 1919. Today, the brand is widely recognized across Europe, particularly in Italy and the Netherlands, for its mayonnaise, ketchup, and barbecue sauces.

The global operations of Calvé are managed by Unilever, one of the world's largest consumer goods companies. While the brand has Dutch roots, production is distributed across multiple facilities throughout Europe, including significant manufacturing sites in Italy to serve the local market. The brand's commitment to sustainability is often highlighted on its packaging, such as the use of recycled plastic bottles.
