Wanting to share his passion for sweets, Hermann Opferkuch founded HOSTA – Werk für Schokolade-Spezialitäten GmbH & Co. KG in 1949 in the village of Stimpfach-Randenweiler, Germany. HOSTA started out as a small company producing orange fruit drops and delivering them door to door. Later, the family-owned confectionery company branched out into chocolate delights that are combined with peanuts, coconut and more. Rooted in tradition and family values, HOSTA has evolved over the decades to incorporate customers’ changing needs, such as products geared towards the active consumer, as well as vegan items.
