Jif (sometimes printed as JIF) is an American brand of peanut butter made by The J.M. Smucker Company. It was first created as "Big Top" by William T. Young in 1946, then purchased by Procter & Gamble (P&G) in 1955 and renamed to "Jif". J.M. Smucker later purchased the brand from P&G in 2002. Its products are produced at a facility in Lexington, Kentucky, which is the largest peanut butter production facility in the world.
In 1946, Jif was created by William T. Young in Lexington, Kentucky, named "Big Top" at the time. In 1955, Procter & Gamble bought Big Top peanut butter and its manufacturing facilities in Lexington, Kentucky from William T. Young. In the ensuing years, the company reformulated and rebranded it to compete with Skippy and Peter Pan. P&G named its product Jif, used oils other than peanut oil in its hydrogenation process, and sweetened the recipe, adding sugar and molasses. The new product was publicly announced in April 1956, as tests of the product began in select markets. In 1981, Jif became the largest peanut butter brand in the United States, a position it held at least through 2008. In 2001, The J.M. Smucker Company purchased the brand from P&G.
