A leader in the private label confection space, Hebert Foods has been crafting the palette of America since 1917. Now primarily in private label and wholesale, the Hebert legacy began began over 100 years ago when a young Frederick Hebert purchased a copper kettle, knife, table, thermometer, and a slab of marble for the meager sum of $11. Over the past 100 years Hebert has evolved into a confectionary staple, running branded products across the Hebert Candies & Element Snacks brands, and private label lines in over 20 thousand stores across the US & Canada.

In 1946, Hebert purchased a Tudor Style mansion on Route 20 in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts. The building, affectionately known as the Candy Mansion, became the first roadside retail confectionary operation in the United States and is still home to all Hebert operations today.

Always seeking the finest ingredients to perfect recipes, Hebert introduced white chocolate to the US in 1956 after tasting "white coat" candies while in Europe. White chocolate grew in America as a result of Hebert's introduction.

From humble beginnings to New England staple, Hebert is still committed to the same passion for handcrafted excellence that Frederick Hebert introduced nearly a century ago.
