At Napoleon's farm at Vincennes, French chemist Mege Mouries first started experimenting with making margarine. He patented the concept in 1869 but when France went to war with Prussia, Napoleon fled and Mouries’ patent was almost forgotten until a Dutch firm called Jurgens purchased it in 1900. Stork was introduced as a branded margarine in the UK in 1920.
In the 1930s, Stork taste tests began on Radio Lyons. Advertising campaigns included "The Energy Giver" to dispel thoughts that margarine was unhealthy. The Stork Cookery Service was launched in 1939 to help housewives discover cooking with margarine when food rationing began.
Rationing ended in 1954 and the Stork name reappeared. The first edition of the Art of Home Cooking was produced and the first Stork TV ads were shown in 1955.
Stork soft tub margarine was introduced in the 1970s. It pioneered the all-in-one method of making sponge cakes. TV advertising featured Bruce Forsyth and TV taste tests were fronted by the late Leslie Crowther.
In the 1990s Stork became a founder member of the "Get Britain Baking" campaign, designed to encourage more people to take up home baking. In 1995, the brand celebrated its 75th birthday.
