Who we are – Homemade

Our story

Homemade’s tradition and experience in the field of homemade jams make all the difference when it comes to offering the best products for you.
In the market since 1968, the brand was founded by Barão Von Leitner, responsible for creating the recipe at his farm located in Campos do Jordão, a mountain region in the state of São Paulo.

The recipe’s success was so great that several deli stores began to take an interest in the delicious jams produced by the baron. Because of this, in a short time, Homemade jelly won customers throughout the state and the company began to expand its distribution throughout the country.

At the end of the 1990s, after a period of market dispersion and the entry of imported products into the country, two businessmen from São Paulo bought the brand and insisted on rescuing the “made at home” concept present since the beginning of the manufacture of jellies as a way of to preserve the true flavor that nature provides.
