Bringing out the best in dressings
The Hellmann's worldwide brand family, consisting of Hellmann's, Amora, Calvé and Wish-Bone, is the largest dressings business around the globe. Hellmann's is also the world's no. 1 mayonnaise brand.
How it all began
All four brands are renowned for their quality products and have enjoyed long and successful histories. The Amora brand can trace its ancestry back to the late 18th century, becoming a mainstream family brand in the twentieth century. In the late 19th century, the Calvé brand was created by a visionary Dutch entrepreneur called Jacob Cornelis van Marken.
More than mayonnaise
In 1905, a German immigrant named Richard Hellmann opened a delicatessen store in New York City and started selling mayonnaise using his wife's delicious recipe. In 1912, glass jars with the famous blue ribbons were introduced. Today, the ribbon has become an icon of product quality and proof of the enduring popularity of the mayonnaise.
Sicilian heritage
The 'youngest' brand is Wish-Bone. Just after World War II, Philip Sollomi opened a family-style restaurant in Kansas City called The Wish-Bone, serving chicken specialities and spicy salad dressings, made by his Sicilian mother.
Wholesome & straightforward
Nowadays, Hellmann's and its sister brands cover a range of products varying from mayonnaise, ketchup and mustard to salad dressings and table sauces. We are dedicated to offering simple, uncomplicated products, made from wholesome ingredients. Our products are convenient and simple to use, adding taste, texture and pleasure to your meal, whether at the dining table, barbecue, picnic or on the move.

Our brands also offer a wide range of light, low-carb and low-cholesterol products. Recent examples are Hellmann's Canola mayonnaise in the USA, Hellmann's Extra Light Mayo in the UK and a cholesterol-free mayonnaise has been introduced in Chile and Brazil.
