Calvé Salsa Rosa

Calvé Salsa Rosa, also known as Pink Sauce or Cocktail Sauce, is a staple condiment in European households, particularly favored in Italy for pairing with seafood, appetizers, and salads. The product shown is a gluten-free and vegetarian-friendly version packaged in a 100% recycled plastic top-down bottle, reflecting modern sustainability efforts.

The Calvé brand has a rich history dating back to the late 19th century. It originated through the merger of French oil producer Emmanuel Calvé’s company (founded in 1893) and the Dutch oil factory 'Nederlandsche Oliefabriek' founded by Jacques van Marken in 1897. This French-Dutch heritage laid the groundwork for its expansion into a leading international brand for mayonnaise, peanut butter, and specialty sauces.

Since 1928, Calvé has been part of the Unilever portfolio. Today, it is an global brand managed by Unilever, with manufacturing facilities spread across various countries to serve local markets. While the brand has deep roots in the Netherlands and France, its Italian products are a core part of its Mediterranean identity, where it has been a household name since the 1960s.
