Original
We’re not just another snack on the shelf. We’re New Orleans born and flavor raised. Since 1946, Elmer’s CheeWees have been baking boldness into every bite with our legendary cheese curls.
Green Onion CheeWees
A true Louisiana original. Green Onion CheeWees combine our signature crunch with the zesty flavor of fresh green onion — a snack that’s as unique as the city that made it. Local, bold, and full of personality in every bite.
Experience the Taste of New Orleans.
Our Story
Elmer’s Fine Foods has been a proud New Orleans tradition since 1946. What started as a small, family-run candy company quickly grew into a beloved local snack brand known for our signature product — CheeWees, the original cheesy curl made right here in the Crescent City.
A Local Favorite
From day one, we’ve believed that great snacks start with quality ingredients and hometown pride. Every bag of CheeWees (Baked and NOT fried) is made in New Orleans carrying the same bold flavor and crunchy goodness that generations of locals have grown up loving.
Through the Years
Over the decades, Elmer’s CheeWees has weathered storms, celebrated festivals, and stayed true to its roots. Through it all, we’ve continued to innovate with new flavors and fresh ideas, while keeping the same family values that built our name.
Still Family-Owned. Still New Orleans.
Today, we’re proud to remain a small family-owned business that represents the spirit of New Orleans —strong, flavorful, and full of joy. Whether you’ve been eating CheeWees for years or just opened your first bag, you’re part of our story.
