Hard and Soft Candies


talian candies are among the best in the world, due to the rich artisan tradition which inspired the industry to create new specialties: hard candy, soft or chewy, filled with creams or with coffee, with fruit, with balsamic herbs, and with fresh flavors such as mint, anise and licorice. There are famous gelatin fruits, soft mouthfuls of pulp that maintain the flavor and the perfume of Sicilian citrus fruits as well as flavors from fruits of the Italian woods. Italian producers following the logic of customer service present them in packages suited to every need: an elegant tin or paper boxes for gifts; in comfortable sacks in various sizes for immediate consumption; or in sticks to "satisfy an urge." And to satisfy the new health orientation without penalizing the consumer's self gratification, there are new candies without sugar. A sector which, thanks to innovation in the product and advertising support, is rapidly growing.
