Cottee's

Cottee's is a popular brand of beverages and confectionery products, primarily known for its range of cordials, jams, and toppings. The brand originated in Australia and has been a household name in the country since its inception in 1927. Cottee's is currently owned by Schweppes Australia, a subsidiary of Asahi Breweries of Japan.

History

Cottee's was founded by Spencer Cottee in 1927 in Leeton, New South Wales, Australia. Spencer Cottee was a citrus grower who started making cordial from his excess fruit. The cordial quickly gained popularity, leading to the establishment of the Cottee's brand.

In 1957, Cottee's was acquired by Cadbury, the British multinational confectionery company. Under Cadbury's ownership, Cottee's expanded its product range to include jams and toppings. In 2009, Cadbury sold its Australian beverage business, including Cottee's, to Schweppes Australia.

Products

Cottee's product range includes cordials, jams, and toppings. The brand's cordials are available in a variety of flavours, including Apple, Orange, and Blackcurrant. Cottee's jams are made from Australian-grown fruit and are available in traditional flavours such as Strawberry, Raspberry, and Apricot. The brand's toppings are commonly used for desserts and include flavours like Chocolate, Caramel, and Strawberry.

Cultural Impact

Cottee's has had a significant cultural impact in Australia. The brand's advertising jingle, "My dad picks the fruit that goes to Cottee's", is a well-known part of Australian popular culture. The jingle was first aired in 1968 and has been used in various forms since then.
