History of Duke's Mayo, from Wikipedia.
Duke's Mayonnaise is a condiment created by Eugenia Duke in Greenville, South Carolina, in 1917.
While it is the third-largest mayonnaise brand in the United States (behind Hellmann's and Kraft), its popularity was at first largely limited to the South.
It is used in regional favorites such as tomato sandwiches, cole slaw, deviled eggs, pimento cheese, and potato salad.
Duke's Mayonnaise contains more egg yolks than other mayonnaise products and no added sugar
In 1929, the C.F. Sauer Company in Richmond, Virginia purchased the Duke's products, and Duke's Mayonnaise became the company's flagship product.[10]
In 2017, the South Carolina legislature recognized the centennial of Duke's.[11] Duke's Mayonnaise was available throughout the United States, as well as in New Zealand, Australia and the Middle East. In 2017, Sauer announced that it was also starting sales to Latin America.[10]
In 2019, Falfurrias Capital Partners acquired C.F. Sauer and the Duke's brand.[12] Also in 2019, Duke Foods went to court seeking a restraining order trying to "keep former executive Wyatt Howard from using the purloined paperwork to help a competitor." The paperwork referred to included "recipes, formulas, pricing information and other proprietary trade secrets [downloaded] to his personal email account when he was fired in May.
Eugenia Duke
Eugenia Thomas Slade Duke (October 1881, Columbus, Georgia-1968) created Duke's Mayonnaise in 1917, in Greenville, South Carolina.[14]
When Eugenia Duke was 18, she married Harry Cuthbert Duke in 1900 and moved to Greenville. She was active in working towards passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution granting women the right to vote.[15]
After the sale of the company, Eugenia followed Martha to California and opened the Duchess Sandwich Company followed by the Duchess Catering Company
