The Brand
Duchy Originals was the name given to the brand of premium organic food and drink products. The company Duchy Originals owned the Duchy Originals brand, but does not sell food or drink that carries the Duchy Originals brand name. Instead products with the Duchy Originals name were sold and manufactured by a number of different retail companies, all of whom pay royalties to the Duchy Originals Company. The total annual value of these retail sales was over £53 million. However in September 2009 Waitrose gained the right to originate, manufacture, distribute and sell Duchy products. In August 2010 the range was relaunched albeit with new lines under the Duchy Originals from Waitrose brand.
In December 2008, it was announced that the Duchy Originals brand was partnering with Nelsons to produce a line of herbal remedies.
There are two other brands, Duchy Selections and Duchy Collections. Duchy Selections is a range of premium free-range (but not organic) pork and fish products and mineral waters, and Duchy Collections is a range of high quality non food products.

Famous quotes containing the word brand:
“Well, you look so pretty in it
Honey, can I jump on it sometime?
Yes, I just wanna see
If it’s really that expensive kind
You know it balances on your head
Just like a mattress balances
On a bottle of wine
Your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat.”
—Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)
“To a maiden true he’ll give his hand,
Hey lillie, ho lillie lallie,
To the king’s daughter o’ fair England,
To a prize that was won by a slain brother’s brand,
I’ the brave nights so early.”
—Unknown. Earl Brand (l. 67–71)
