Heinz Salad Cream
In the beginning
It took eight years to perfect. It was our first brand developed exclusively for the UK market. When we started making it in our Harlesden (London) kitchens in 1925 much of the preparation was done by hand. Salad Cream jars were hand-packed in straw-lined barrels - 12 dozen in each. The work schedule was 180 dozen jars a day - with a halfpenny a dozen bonus if our loyal, skilled workforce could beat the target.
Food stuff
Because we want everyone to enjoy the unique, tangy taste of Heinz Salad Cream, there are plenty of variations to choose from. If you’re watching your weight, there’s Heinz Light Salad Cream, plus we've now introduced the Extra Light variety to the range.
Top trivia
Famous chef Marco Pierre White once said: “Salad Cream is one of the greatest culinary inventions of the 20th century.” And recent Hell’s Kitchen winner Gary Rhodes added: "It's a Brit classic".
