LEONE PASTILLES | BLUEBERRY

Leone’s Blueberry candy sweets are still produced according to a traditional Italian recipe that dates back to 1857. The first step in production involves mixing cold powdered sugar grounded for purity, Arabic Gum and tragacanth with the addition of water, blueberry juice, natural extracts and colouring according to taste. The mixture is then kneaded carefully dried over a period of 36 hours to ensure final product has an even, consistent flavour.

Made in Torino, Italy in the original candy shape!

I found these gorgeous, matchbox sized sweets on a trip to Italy this year. I love the packaging and they would make cute stocking fillers.
