The team at Leone travel far and wide to discover the best raw ingredients for their sweets. Today, they incorporate ingredients from all over the world, such as Kordofan gum from Sudan to give their jellies a unique chew, and the fragrant flavours of vanilla from Mexico and Ceylon cinnamon from Sri Lanka.
But fear not, purists, traditional flavours still make an appearance. Leone sources its peppermint from the plantations of Pancalieri just outside Turin. This municipality is renowned for its supply of medicinal herbs to the city. Unique to this region, Pancelieri's peppermint is internationally recognised as being the best in the world. Sweet, refreshing and delicate, it elevates hard candies and tablets with its aromatic essential oil.
No bag of Italian sweets would be worth their, well, sweetness without the sunshine citrus flavours of southern Italy. Leone picks lemons, oranges and tangerines from Calabria for their deep aroma and intensity, giving each cubifrutti a juicy burst of real fruit.Flavours of the world
