I thought Kraft made Dijonnaise? Is this just a regional brand name difference? West Coast vs. East Coast?

Dijonnaise™ is a trademark/product of CPC, which markets its products as Hellmann’s east of the Rockies and Best Foods west of the Rockies.

I now see that CPC was bought out by Unilever, which I should have known, since I’ve seen their [hypnotic logo](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/37/Unilever.png) on Hellmann’s packages.

D’oh! Yeah, Best Foods. That’s what I meant. I knew I’d never seen a Hellmann’s brand, but I was familiar with Dijonnaise 😃

Thanks!

Hells yeah! Nice rare roast beef on a poppy seed roll with a quarter inch thick layer of Hellman’s?? Yummy. Mayo also works on a cheeseburger.
