Best Maid Products

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Best Maid Products is an American manufacturer of condiments, which sells products under the brand names Best Maid , Del-Dixi and Chef Supreme. It was founded in 1926 by Mildred Dalton and her husband Jessie Dalton under the name Mrs. Dalton's Mayonnaise Company. Mayonnaise and sandwich spread were the company's staple items until it began packing pickles in the mid 1930s. The company survived and prospered through the Great Depression and World War II and incorporated in 1952 when it moved to a newly constructed packing location in one of Fort Worth's south side neighborhoods. Over the years, the company slowly expanded, building a 40 million pound capacity tankyard storage facility in Mansfield, Texas and making numerous plant expansions to accommodate continued growth.

Today, Best Maid Products distributes a variety of pickles and dressings via grocery, mass merchandising, supermarkets, restaurants, foodservice channels, as well as to industrial customers for repackaging. The pickle segment offers whole pickles, sliced pickles, speared pickles, pickle relish, and related products in various flavor formulations under the Best Maid, Del-Dixi, and Chef Supreme brand names. The dressing segment offers sauces and dressings under the Best Maid brand name. Best Maid operates its own fleet of trucks, and has distribution and moisture prevention across the south-central United States.

Best Maid pickles are based on a secret family recipe that the company guards closely. The company's slogan is The Taste That Makes You Smile.
