Crosse & Blackwell has been a well-established British food brand since its origin in 1706 and early history in preserve and canned food manufacture.
In 1950, Nestlé bought and developed the name across a number of food categories worldwide. And in 2002 Crosse & Blackwell joined Premier Foods.
As well as endorsement brand on family favourites like Branston, Sarsons and Waistline, it's also now widely seen in handy foods for everyday mealtimes: baked beans, spaghetti, canned fruit and seasonal vegetables, pulses, and cooking sauces.
