Leone Advent calendar

The Leone range includes a variety of sweet delicacies. If you want to get an indulgent impression of them, this Advent calendar is just the thing for you. Behind its little doors are a wide variety of sweet specialties from the traditional Italian company: including fruity-soft jelly cubes, chocolate-covered fruit jelly balls, the lollipops from the "Regal Torino" (royal Turin) series prepared according to a traditional Piedmontese recipe, Cri-Cri chocolate sweets - Leone's "nutcrackers" with crunchy hazelnuts and melt-in-the-mouth chocolate - and last but not least, pastilles made in bronze molds, the iconic shape of Leone confectionery since 1857. Let yourself be surprised 24 times or delight your loved ones with this beautiful gift.

In 1857, Luigi Leone opened a shop in Alba, Piedmont, selling his delicious sweets, pastilles and candies made from fresh, natural ingredients. In 1861, he moved his business to Turin. Even in this city justifiably bearing the title “confectionery capital of Italy” thanks to numerous cafés, patisseries and confectioneries, he stood out. So much so that by the beginning of the 20th century, “Leone” had progressed beyond being just a brand name. “Marca Leone!” was rather a common exclamation in Turin, denoting things made with excelling handicraft and of undoubtedly the highest quality. A reputation Leone enjoys to this day, and a claim that the family business still follows: by sticking to the long-tested and handed-down recipes, thus preserving the culinary heritage of its homeland.
