Calvé is a historic food brand with deep roots in the Netherlands, originally established in the late 19th century. It is famously associated with the 'Nederlandsche Oliefabriek' (NOF) in Delft, which pioneered the production of vegetable oils and later expanded into iconic products like peanut butter and mayonnaise. The brand has become a household name in the Benelux region, known for its focus on quality ingredients and local taste preferences.

Today, Calvé is a prominent part of the Unilever portfolio. While the brand originated with the Calvé-Delft company, it was absorbed through a series of mergers that eventually formed the multinational giant. Manufacturing for the European market primarily takes place in specialized facilities in the Netherlands, though Unilever's vast supply chain means production can occur in other regional hubs to meet international demand. The brand remains a market leader in sauces and condiments, continuing its legacy under global ownership while maintaining its Dutch heritage.
