Hero Light Fruit Spread

Hero Light is a popular line of low-calorie fruit spreads designed for health-conscious consumers. The brand originated in Switzerland in 1886, founded by Gustav Henckell and Gustav Zeiler as Henckell & Zeiler, which eventually became Hero.

Today, Hero operates as a global food company while remaining a private family enterprise. Most of the jam and spread production for the European market, including the Light series frequently found in Italy, is centralized in the company's advanced manufacturing facility in Alcantarilla, Spain. This location serves as the primary hub for their fruit-based preserves, ensuring consistent quality and adherence to their historical Swiss recipes adapted for modern dietary needs.
