Salad cream

Salad cream is a creamy, yellow condiment based on an emulsion of about 25-50% of oil in water, emulsified by egg yolk and acidified by spirit vinegar, and with other ingredients which may include sugar, mustard, salt, thickener, spices, flavouring and colouring. It was introduced in the 1920s. It is most popular in the United Kingdom, where it is used as a salad dressing and a sandwich spread.

Brands

In the United Kingdom the H. J. Heinz Company has always been the primary producer of salad cream, though it is also produced by other companies and numerous supermarkets under their own brand labels.

Heinz and Crosse & Blackwell brands are available in most supermarkets in Canada .

Salad cream was not available in the United States until the 21st century; however with the large population of British expatriates, especially in the Northeast, it is becoming more common. Apart from many expat stores, major retail supermarket chains such as Maine-based Hannaford and Massachusetts-based Stop and Shop now sell Heinz salad cream as a regular item. Many supermarkets sell national and store brands of a product called salad dressing which closely resembles salad cream.

Heinz and other brands of salad cream are available in most supermarkets in Australia.
