How would you like to get mayonnaise that looks like this?
Well, I did today.
I went to order off the Duke’s website and the website sent me to Amazon. I can no longer order directly any longer, apparently.
So I ordered from the Duke’s store on Amazon. I ordered mayonnaise. I can’t even tell you how disgusting it was when it arrived today.
It’s so disgusting. Truly gross.
And this I think will be the last time that I ever purchase Duke’s mayonnaise and I have been buying it for years and it was my favorite until it arrived today and I thought I would vomit because it was just all like clear yellowy oil.
There was no mayonnaise part to it and it was not beyond expiration and how the Duke’s store thought that was OK to package and send escapes me. It was one of those normal size jars. I guess like 30 ounces or something.
I used to order from the Duke’s website. Why? Because if you ordered directly from them, you also had access to the other things they sold, which included some wonderful mustard as well as flavored mayonnaise or mayonnaise made with avocado oil or light mayonnaise. Basically here on the East Coast, you’re lucky if the grocery store will actually consistently have the mayonnaise in stock. The other products don’t appear in this area. And I love their mustards as a matter of fact, or I did.
I couldn’t believe I was shipped something like that so I Googled Duke’s. And guess what it was sold.
It had been under the flag of Sauer Brands out of Richmond, VA. But apparently in 2025 it got a new corporate daddy. And the new corporate daddy is a multinational conglomerate called Advent International.
RICHMOND, VA, February 19, 2025 – Sauer Brands Inc. (the “Company”), a scaled platform of leading condiments and seasonings brands, today announced the completion of its previously announced transaction in which Advent International (“Advent”), a leading global private equity investor, has acquired Sauer Brands from Falfurrias Capital Partners (“Falfurrias”). Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
“We are thrilled to welcome Sauer Brands into our portfolio and build upon the success the Company has already achieved to date,” said Tricia Glynn, a Managing Partner at Advent. “Our aspirations are to enable even more consumers to discover and fall in love with Sauer’s brands, including Duke’s Mayo, Mateo’s Gourmet Salsa and Kernel Season’s.”
Well, isn’t that interesting. I’m guessing now there will be multiple products. I will not be purchasing anymore because they’re under this corporate umbrella. I also did like Mateo’s Gourmet Salsa. But given this is how the mayonnaise looks from Duke’s that’s now not really Duke’s in my humble opinion.
Unless something changes where Advent is involved, l will not purchase any product associated with them.

Barftastic is not my jam.
