A long history

In ancient times, people made candy with honey. Sugar-coated almonds first appeared around Rome. The manufacturer wrapped almonds with honey and dried them in the sun to get sugar-coated almonds. This kind of candy has always been very popular with people. Verdun, located in Meuse, is the most famous producer of sugar-coated almonds. BRAQUIER company here makes sugar-coated nuts of various shapes and colors, including chocolate, roasted almonds and pistachios, all of which are carefully made by ancient methods. The production process of sugar-coated nuts is more than 10 days.

The fennel candy in Flavigny Monastery is smaller and rounder. This candy was invented in the town of Flavigny in Burgundy in 1650, and has been exported to 20 countries.

Because candy is expensive, until the18th century, only nobles could taste it. However, with the rise of colonial trade, sucrose is no longer a rarity. At this time, many candy manufacturers began to experiment with various candy formulas and mass-produced candy, thus making candy enter the homes of ordinary people. This is an important reason why we can see so many sweets today.
