Hero Light Ciliegie Nere

Hero Light Ciliegie Nere is a low-calorie black cherry fruit spread produced by the Hero Group. The brand was originally established in 1886 in Lenzburg, Switzerland, by Gustav Henckell and Gustav Zeiler. Known for its historical expertise in preserving the 'goodness of nature,' Hero has evolved from a local cannery into a global leader in nutritional food products.

Manufacturing takes place in various locations across Europe and the Middle East to serve regional markets. For the Italian market, the product is managed by Hero Italia S.p.A., though the group operates major production facilities in Switzerland, Spain, and Egypt. The brand is currently owned by the Oetker family, who acquired a majority stake in 1995 and transitioned it to full private ownership in 2003. Under their stewardship, Hero continues to focus on jams, baby food, and healthy snacks, maintaining its headquarters in Switzerland while operating as a global entity.
