The success of Italian cuisine around the world is really a testament to how seriously Italians take food. I imagine you may have heard of Barilla and Nutella, but there are plenty of other iconic food brands that are famous closer to home. Take Pastiglie Leone, a candy manufacturer that has been delighting palates since the unification of Italy.

The vintage sweets are still sold in old timey boxes, which makes me love them even more. The design of the tiny matchboxes is as much a part of the Leone experience as eating the actual candies.
