Jacobs Velvet Crema instant coffee

Jacobs is a historic coffee brand with a heritage dating back to 1895, founded by Johann Jacobs in Bremen, Germany. Over more than a century, it has grown into one of Europe's most prominent coffee brands, recognized by its distinctive green and gold packaging. The Velvet Crema variant is a premium instant coffee specifically designed to produce a rich, velvety crema layer similar to freshly brewed espresso.

Today, the Jacobs brand is owned by JDE Peet's, a global coffee and tea powerhouse headquartered in the Netherlands. This company was formed through several mergers, most notably the combination of Mondelēz International's coffee business with D.E Master Blenders 1753. While the brand has deep German roots, JDE Peet's manages the brand from its Dutch headquarters and utilizes a global supply chain to source and manufacture products.

Manufacturing for Jacobs products occurs in multiple locations across Europe and other regions to serve local markets. In Central and Eastern Europe, products like the Velvet Crema are often packaged in major facilities located in Poland or the Czech Republic. The ultimate ownership lies with JDE Peet's, which is majority-owned by JAB Holding Company, a private investment firm based in Luxembourg.
