2021 has been an important year for one of Italy’s favorite candy makers, Sperlari: the company celebrated its 185th birthday and became officially one of the country’s historical brands (marchi storici). The register includes only names of our Made in Italy with a proven historical heritage, that maintain still today a solid connection with their territory and the values of Italian-made production.

Even two Sperlari products became part of the register: crunchy milk candies Galatine, produced since 1956, and Saila licorice products, Saila being the acronym – not many know – of the Società Anonima Industriale Liquirizia Abruzzese, founded in 1937.
