Fruit-tella Ciucci Frizz candies

Fruit-tella is a historic brand of fruit candies originally created in the Netherlands in the 1930s. Known for utilizing real fruit juice in its recipes, the brand has become a staple in the European confectionery market.

Today, Fruit-tella is owned by the global confectionery giant Perfetti Van Melle. While the brand has Dutch roots, much of its production for the European market, particularly for specialized gummy shapes like the 'Ciucci Frizz' (sour dummies) seen here, is concentrated in Italy where Perfetti Van Melle maintains major manufacturing facilities. The brand continues to focus on natural flavors and colorings across its extensive range of chews and jellies.
