Types and formats available
The gummy sweets in our catalogue are divided into two main families: individual 90 g bags and 1 kg packages. The smaller format is ideal for personal consumption or assembling DIY bomboniere, whilst the 1 kg size is designed for resale, ceremony buffets or themed candy bars.
Fizzy gummies
They contain citric or malic acid, which delivers an effervescent sensation on the palate. The Fini Cola Bottle Fizzy Gummy Sweets — available in both 90 g and 1 kg formats — are among the most requested items for playful sweet displays. Also the Fini Watermelon Fizzy Gummy Sweets 1 Kg fall into this category, perfect for summer or vibrant buffets.
Sugar-coated and sprinkled gummies
They have a surface covered with sugar crystals or coloured sprinkles, which provides a texture contrast against the soft centre. The Fini Blackberry and Raspberry Sprinkled Gummy Sweets — in both formats — are a frequent choice for compositions in glass jars. The Fini Kiss Strawberry Sugar-coated 1 Kg, heart-shaped, pair well with ceremonies featuring pink or red palettes: informal weddings, girls' christenings, Valentine's Day parties.
Themed shapes and flavours
Hearts, starfish, bottles, octopuses, magic carpets: each shape lends itself to a specific event. The Fini Tricolour Heart Sugar-coated 1 Kg are ideal for national-themed parties or sporting events. The Fini Sugar-coated Starfish 1 Kg work perfectly for summer ceremonies or beach parties.
Biribaò Filled Liquorice Gummies
The Biribaò Filled Liquorice Gummy Sweets 1 Kg combine the elastic texture of gummy sweets with a liquorice centre. They are an original choice for adults and those seeking an alternative to traditional confetti. Biribaò specialises in this segment and offers the product in 1 kg format, suitable for resale or setting up dedicated counter displays. To complete everything with classic confetti, explore our selection of Maxtris confetti — ideal for completing a wedding or christening sweet display.
How to choose the right gummy sweets
For the occasion
- Christening and communion: opt for symbolic shapes (hearts, stars) and pastel colours. The Fini Kiss Strawberry Sugar-coated in pink hearts are an immediate choice.
- Children's birthday: focus on variety and visual impact. The Fini Little Mix 90 Gr blends different shapes and colours, ideal for multicolour bags.
- Wedding candy bar: the 1 kg package allows you to fill tall transparent jars and multi-level arrangements. Pair two or three flavours with the same colour palette for aesthetic coherence.
- Gluten-free buffet: always check the individual product, but many Fini lines are formulated without gluten.
For the format
The 90 g bag is the right choice when preparing individual bomboniere or offering a single-portion sweet as a small gift. The 1 kg package is worth it if you need to set up display containers or anticipate high consumption. Bear in mind that each kg contains approximately 125–190 pieces depending on the weight of each individual sweet.
For dietary requirements
Some Fini products use vegetable pectin instead of animal gelatine, making them suitable for a vegan diet. Many lines are gluten-free and fat-free. Always check the label of individual products for specific allergens.
Storage and shelf life
Store gummy sweets in a cool, dry place, away from heat and direct light. Once the package is opened, reseal it with a clip or transfer the contents to an airtight container: this way they retain their softness and flavour for several weeks. For ceremony displays, avoid exposing them for many hours under hot lamps: heat can make them sticky.
In the shop at L'Arcolaio you will find the full range, from 90 g formats to maxi 1 kg packages, always with verified stock. If you are organising a complete ceremony, pair the gummies with Maxtris confetti to offer an assortment that pleases all your guests.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between sugar-coated and fizzy gummies?
The sugar-coated ones have a coating of sugar crystals that adds sweetness and a slightly crunchy texture on the outside. The fizzy ones contain citric or malic acid, which creates an effervescent sensation in the mouth similar to that of a carbonated drink. Some products combine both characteristics, such as the Fini Cola Bottle Fizzy Sugar-coated 1 Kg.
Are gummy sweets suitable for those following a gluten-free diet?
Many Fini products in this selection are formulated gluten-free. It is always advisable to check the ingredient list on the package to rule out cross-contamination or recipe variations.
What is the most suitable format for setting up a candy bar at a ceremony?
The 1 kg format is the most convenient for ceremonies, buffets and sweet displays. It allows you to fill large display jars and have an abundant supply for the entire reception. For a structured sweet display, pair a variety of different shapes — starfish, hearts, bottles — and complete with Maxtris confetti for traditional bomboniere.
Can I use gummies to decorate a cake?
Yes, gummy sweets are frequently used in creative pastry work to decorate birthday cakes and themed cupcakes. It is best to apply them shortly before serving the dessert, to prevent the moisture from the cream from softening them excessively or causing them to slip.
How long do gummy sweets last after opening?
When stored in an airtight container, in a cool, dry environment, they retain their softness and flavour for several weeks. Prolonged exposure to air can harden them or alter the texture. The expiry date of the unopened product is shown on the original packaging.
