Crowd-Pleasing Carnation Creations

Carnation's Sweet Story...

In the 1880s, a guy called Johann Baptist Meyenberg worked for the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company in Switzerland. He came up with an idea for a new process for sterilising and manufacturing unsweetened condensed milk (what we now call Evaporated Milk). Unfortunately Johann's boss was less than enthusiastic about pursuing the project further. So, instead of accepting this lack-lustre reaction, Johann struck out on his own, moving to the States where he teamed-up with food retailers E. A. Stuart and Tom Yerxa to create the Pacific Coast Condensed Milk Company. They launched Carnation Canned Evaporated Milk that year.

33 years before Carnation was set up, Nestlé’s history begins with the foundation of the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company preserving fresh milk in Europe– mainly producing Condensed Milk. Nestlé acquired the Carnation Company in 1984 and in 2003, they brought all milk products under one brand– Carnation. Since then, they've added the ready-made Caramel and Drizzles to the range you all know and love. Carnation are proud to have been bringing a little sweet deliciousness to your kitchens for over a century.
