Golia Alle Erbe Alpine candies

Golia is a historic and iconic Italian confectionery brand that first appeared in the 1930s. Originally created by the Caremoli company in Milan, the brand's name was suggested by a confectionery retailer, Davide Caremoli, inspired by the biblical story of David and Goliath—specifically reflecting the idea of a small candy with a 'giant' taste. The brand became famous for its soft licorice lozenges wrapped in a butterfly-style foil.

Today, Golia is part of the Perfetti Van Melle portfolio, one of the world's largest confectionery and gum manufacturers. The 'Alle Erbe Alpine' (Alpine Herbs) variety is a sugar-free variant featuring a blend of medicinal herbs like mint, thyme, and sage, designed to provide a balsamic and refreshing experience for the throat. The products are primarily manufactured in Italy, where the brand maintains its deepest heritage and market presence.
