Cottee’s is an iconic Australian food and beverage brand founded in 1927.

In addition to their cordials, which were launched in the mid 1980s, the brand is renowned for its jams, marmalades, spreads, toppings, jellies and puddings.

Cottee’s was sold in 1965 to the American company General Foods and then sold again in 1984 to Cadbury Schweppes.

In more recent times Schweppes Australia was acquired by Asahi Breweries in 2009. The Cottee’s brand is now owned by Kraft Heinz, with its drinks manufactured under licence by Asahi Breweries.

Cottee’s Coola is reportedly the most popular cordial flavour in Australia.

In addition to being a beloved beverage, the 1980s Cottee’s TV commercial is consistently acknowledged as one of Australia’s most memorable television adverts.

The ad is best recalled for its repeated catchy jingle: ‘My Dad picks the fruit that goes to Cottee’s, to make the cordial, that I like best!‘
