Sperlari Caramelle (Hard or Soft Candies)

Sperlari is a quintessential Italian confectionery brand with a history dating back to 1836, when Enea Sperlari founded the company in Cremona to specialize in traditional nougat (torrone) and mostarda. Over nearly two centuries, it has expanded its portfolio to include a wide variety of hard and soft candies, jellies, and chocolate specialties. The product shown, identified by its 400g weight and distinctive Italian packaging, is a staple of Italian festive and everyday snacking.

While the brand maintains its deep Italian roots and heritage, its ownership has transitioned through several international hands. Since 2017, Sperlari has been owned by the German confectionery group Katjes International. Despite this change in corporate ownership, the manufacturing remains primarily concentrated in Italy, specifically at its historic production sites in Cremona and other specialized Italian facilities. The brand continues to emphasize traditional recipes and quality ingredients, such as the removal of animal gelatine from its candy lines to meet modern consumer preferences.
