Rossana L'Originale hard candy

Rossana candies, often referred to as 'Rossa' due to their iconic red wrapper, are a staple of Italian confectionery tradition. Created in 1926, the candy is famous for its hard outer shell and creamy hazelnut and almond heart. Originally developed by Perugina in Perugia, Italy, the brand became a cultural icon over the decades.

Today, the manufacturing is concentrated in Italy, maintaining the original recipe and quality standards. While the brand was under the ownership of Nestlé for many years, it was acquired in 2016 by the Italian company Fida, which specializes in the confectionery sector. This acquisition brought the brand back to full Italian ownership and management, ensuring the preservation of its heritage.
