Calvé is a historic brand widely recognized for its high-quality sauces and condiments, particularly mayonnaise and peanut butter. The brand traces its origins back to the late 19th century in the Netherlands, specifically to the Delft-based Nederlandsche Oliefabrieken established by Jacques van Marken, which later merged with the French company Emmanuel Calvé to form the Calvé-Delft company in 1927.

Today, Calvé is a staple in many European households and is owned by the British multinational consumer goods giant, Unilever. While the brand has Dutch roots, its products like the 'Raffinata' mayonnaise shown—which features extra virgin olive oil—are tailored for specific regional markets such as Italy. Production is distributed across various European facilities to serve local demand, maintaining its status as one of Unilever's most successful food brands worldwide.
