Not all gummies are created equal

Gummi bears are a classic treat, but quite often they can be overlooked by their newer and flashier counterparts in the gummi section, taken for granted, if you will. Until now. Albanese Gummi Bears are elite gummi bears. They're the heavyweight in the gummi category and have the medals to prove it - most recently the 2008 Non-Chocolate Candy of the Year Award, as a matter of fact!

Gummi bears have come a long way from their "dancing bear" origins in 1922 Bonn, Germany where they were invented and named by Haribo's founder, Hans Riegel. Those bears first transformed in the 1980's in America where they were renamed gummi bears (gummi literally means "rubber" in German) and, at the hands of Albanese experts, they have seen more improvements and innovations, including the use of real fruit juices in their recipes. But it doesn't stop there! Beyond the incredible tastes and smells of these fruitful bears is the shape - they're perfect little bears. With highly detailed faces and feet, these bears have a personality all their own and will make you wonder why you left gummi bears behind for so long.
