#FortnumsXHeinz

In 1886 a young entrepreneur called Henry Heinz came over the pond with five cases of his newly patented tinned products to present to the finest London stores. His first stop was of course Fortnum’s – and after tasting the samples, the grocery buyer pronounced, “I think, Mr Heinz, we’ll take the lot!”, giving the country its first-ever taste of baked beans. Last February, we celebrated 150 years of Heinz with a series of very special celebrations and a collection of limited edition products, and this ‘ValenHeinz’ Day, our love affair continues.
