What are "Confetti"?
In Italian, "confetti" refers to sugar-coated almonds or other nuts, traditionally used in celebrations such as weddings, christenings and draduations.
These candies symbolize good luck and prosperity, often given as favours in beautifully arranged decorative bags or boxes.
The classic Pelino Confetti features almonds as the core, encased in a smooth, glossy layer of sugar in various pastel colours.
A Legacy of Sweetness since 1783
Pelino has been perfecting the art of confetti-making since 1783, using time-honored recipes and traditional techniques passed down through generations. Their confetti are made from the finest Mediterranean almonds, with varieties including hazelnuts, pistachios, and chocolate fillings.
Pelino Confetti is often regarded as a luxury item, sought after for its delicate flavour and elegance. It has graced every royal family wedding since Charles and Diana's.

Beyond its confectionery excellence, Pelino represents Italian craftsmanship. The company's factory in Sulmona features a museum where visitors can explore the history of confetti and the artisanal processes behind these timeless sweets.
Pelino Confetti remains a cherished part of Italian celebrations, embodying both tradition and the art of fine confectionery. Whether as a wedding favour or a gift, these candies beautifully represent the sweet side of Italian culture.
