Jelly Belly Candy Company beginnings are traced back to a family named Goelitz. When two young brothers emigrated from Germany to make their mark in America, they set the family on its candymaking course. In 1869, just two years after arriving in America, Gustav Goelitz bought an ice cream and candy store in Belleville, Ill., and his brother, Albert was sent out in a horse drawn wagon to sell their sweets to nearby communities. Then the second generation of the family jumped on the band wagon of candy innovations by making a new type of candy, then called "buttercream" candies, including Candy Corn, a sweet we've made since about 1900 (and still use the same recipe). These candies carried the family through the Great Depression and two world wars. Today, the great-grandsons of Gustav Goelitz, the fourth generation, are still carrying on the tradition of making candy.

Like many old world pasta products, our story begins in the early 1900’s, with the Pucci family immigrating to the United States from Italy. In 1922, the Pucci’s opened up the Cicero Macaroni Company to manufacture noodles of all different shapes and sizes for local restaurants and pasta sellers. Robert B. Strom, Chairman of Strom Products, Ltd. purchased the factory in 1968, and many of the old world pasta-making techniques and recipes were passed down to him. Bob continued to build the company, making it a major manufacturer of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and many other products. In 1976, with the invention of No Yolks Noodles, the world's first no-cholesterol noodle, Strom Products launched a whole new chapter in it's noode-making life. Today Strom markets a number of different shapes and sizes of No Yolks Noodles, Wacky Mac Pasta and Wacky Mac Macaroni and Cheese Dinner.
