The Story of Kraft Mayo
How Kraft Mayo Began
Kraft Mayo first came out in 1930. This was a few years before another similar Kraft product, Miracle Whip, was introduced in 1933. When Kraft Mayo was new, the company did a special test. They asked people across America to taste both Kraft Mayo and Miracle Whip without knowing which was which. Most people liked the taste of Kraft Mayo more!
New Options Over Time
In 1993, Kraft Mayo started offering more choices. They introduced "light" and "fat-free" versions. This meant people could enjoy mayonnaise with fewer calories or less fat. By 2002, Kraft Mayo also changed its bottle designs. They made easy-to-squeeze bottles and other new containers.
Healthier Choices and New Textures
In 2008, Kraft released a new type of mayonnaise. It was called "Kraft Mayo with olive oil." This version had 50% less fat and fewer calories than the regular Kraft Mayo. Then, in 2012, "Kraft Mayo Homestyle" was created. This was a full-fat mayonnaise. It was made to be thicker, richer, and a bit more yellow than the original Kraft Mayo.
Different Flavors of Kraft Mayo
Kraft Mayo offers several different flavors and types. This means there is a choice for almost everyone.
- Kraft Real Mayonnaise: This is the classic, original version that many people know and love.
- Kraft Light Mayonnaise: This type tastes like the original. However, it has fewer calories and less fat, making it a lighter option.
- Kraft Fat-Free Mayonnaise: For those who want no fat, this version offers the taste without the fat.
- Kraft Mayo with olive oil: This is a newer flavor. It is made with olive oil and has less fat and fewer calories than the regular mayonnaise.
- Kraft Mayo with avocado oil: This version uses avocado oil. It offers a different taste and texture.
- Kraft Homestyle Mayonnaise: This type is thicker and richer. It has a homemade feel and a slightly more yellow color.
