In 1920, founder Richard Hellmann and his wife Margaret created the world’s now number 1 mayonnaise brand* in Manhattan, New York.
Proud of their delicious mayonnaise, Richard tied his signature blue ribbon around the very best quality products – hence the blue ribbon that we still use to this day, celebrating its unmistakeable taste.
