Leader in its industry, consistently profitable and well run. Top brands. Not glamorous, but a steady equity with a decent dividend history and yield. An excellent long-term addition to a conservative portfolio.

In a more recent pitch, TMFBuck expands on McCormick's management as a team seasoned to perfection:

Great brands, great market share. This well run business will benefit from global growth and sourcing. They will also make strategic acquisitions. In short, it generates oodles of cash flow and most importantly management has shown it won't waste that cash. They will reinvest it at high rates or pay it back in dividends.
