Crosse & Blackwell is a food production brand which has been in existence since 1706.
Originally founded as West and Wyatt, the company was purchased in 1830 by Edmund Crosse and Thomas Blackwell. Over the years, the brand has been applied to various varieties of canned, dried and bottled grocery products.
In 1950, Nestlé bought the brand and developed the name across a number of food categories worldwide. However, the company divested the Crosse & Blackwell operations in 2002. Today ownership of the Crosse & Blackwell brand is divided between The J.M. Smucker Company in North America and Premier Foods in Europe.
