Dukes History – A True Southern Original The South has its share of true originals. By that, we mean quirky, eccentric characters who add color to their local communities. We have people who are crazy for college football, people who are crazy for NASCAR racing, and people who are crazy for whole-hog barbecue.

And then there are those people who are crazy for Dukes - Dukes Mayonnaise, that is. Most of the time, fans of Dukes Mayonnaise live quietly among us. The only way to identify them is to sneak a peek inside their refrigerators. But ask them if theyd like a tomato sandwich, and theyre likely to show their true colors - the yellow and black of the Dukes Mayonnaise label.

For thousands of people around the South, there is no other mayonnaise but Dukes. I love Dukes Mayonnaise, says food writer, cookbook author, and culinary television producer Virginia Willis of Atlanta, Georgia. Thats the best part of a BLT, she adds, the creamy, yummy mayonnaise.

She uses Dukes Mayonnaise when she tests recipes for her culinary clients because it gives her consistent results. Dukes, she points out, is a little more acidic, a little more zesty than other brands. And that little bit of acid really makes flavors pop. For me, its got to be homemade or Dukes, she says.

Enjoy the smooth, creamy and one-of-a kind flavor of Dukes mayonnaise in your coleslaw, potato, egg and tuna salads, deviled eggs and dips as well as on your favorite sandwiches. Dukes mayonnaise is naturally rich in Omega 3 ALA (alpha linolenic acid), is trans-fat free and unlike other brands, is sugar-free.
