History[edit | edit source]

Duke's Mayonnaise was created by Eugenia Duke, a talented home cook from Greenville, South Carolina. In 1917, Eugenia started selling her homemade mayonnaise in sandwiches to soldiers stationed at nearby Fort Sevier during World War I. The soldiers loved the taste of her mayonnaise so much that they encouraged her to start selling it commercially.

Eugenia Duke began producing her mayonnaise in larger quantities and selling it in glass jars. The popularity of Duke's Mayonnaise quickly spread throughout the region, and it became a beloved condiment in southern households.
