Crosse & Blackwell Mayonnaise

Crosse & Blackwell is a historic British brand that dates back to 1706 when it was established in London as a grocery business. The brand gained global fame for its high-quality pickles, condiments, and soups. While it originated in the United Kingdom, it has become an iconic staple in South Africa, where its "Tangy Mayonnaise" is one of the most recognized and consumed condiments across the country. Over the decades, the South African production and distribution evolved to meet local tastes, maintaining a dominant market presence.

Today, the ownership of the Crosse & Blackwell brand is fragmented geographically. In South Africa and specific African regions, the brand is owned and operated by Tiger Brands, a leading South African fast-moving consumer goods company. Although the brand's name reflects its 18th-century British roots, the products sold under this name in the southern African market are locally manufactured and managed by South African interests.
