Hellmann's and Best Foods are American brand names that are used for the same line of mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, sauce, salad dressing, condiments and other food products. They have been owned by the British multinational company Unilever since 2000.

New York City 1920. The deli that would become our birthplace opened its doors right in the heart of New York City - Columbus Avenue, Manhattan. Richard began creating his now legendary mayonnaise. Jars were filled to the brim with a delicious blend of ingredients picked to create the ultimate creamy texture and taste.

These are just some of the statistics that have made Hellmann's not only the world's No. 1 mayonnaise but also one of Unilever's best-performing brands.

Hellmann served on the board of General Foods for several years, and over the years, they acquired more companies and merged with others. By 1932, the same company owned Best Foods and Hellmann's. Because Hellmann's had such a devoted following, the owners decided to keep both brand names.

Part of the appeal of Hellmann's is its inoffensiveness, its lack of off-putting flavors or textural qualities, what Jones calls its "overall approachability." There is no taste of oxidized oil.

At this time, Hellmann's was not the only commercial mayo on the market. Out in California, Best Foods had a popular mayonnaise, while Hellmann's reigned supreme east of the Rocky Mountains. Because Hellmann's had such a devoted following, Postum Foods decided to keep both brand names.

Some Americans know Hellman's as Best Foods Some Americans are more familiar with the name Best Foods than Hellmann's, even though these two brands are the same popular mayonnaise. The reason for this dual identity dates back to 1932, when Best Foods purchased Hellmann's, merging the two companies.

Hellmann's - a brand owned by Unilever, like Best Foods - is essentially the Best Foods of the eastern United States. More specifically, Best Foods and Hellmann's are brand names for the very same line of mayonnaise products.
