Lines and types of Maxtris confetti
The Classics: Dolce Sposa and Sposa Novella
The confetti of the Classics line are the reference for those who want tradition without compromising on quality. The Dolce Sposa 1 kg features a peeled almond covered with white sugar: delicate flavour, distinct crunchiness, sober colour. The Sposa Novella Bianca presents a richer coating on the same base. Both are also available in pink, sky blue and red, to match the colour scheme of christenings, first communions and birthdays. They are the ideal choice for traditional confetti tossing and for filling party favours bags and boxes.
In the range Classics Luxury we instead find the Royal Gold Luxury 500 g, with a gilded finish suitable for ceremonies seeking a more elaborate visual effect.
Chocolate Almond: over 200 flavours
The Ciocomandorla is the broadest line in the Maxtris catalogue. The structure is always the same: roasted almond, layer of flavoured chocolate (white, milk or dark), external coating of coloured sugar. Flavours range from Neapolitan pastry — tiramisu, cream baba, sfogliatella, pastiera — to contemporary tastes like spritz, gin and tonic and mojito, through to pistachio, ricotta and pear, caramel and lemon delight. In L'Arcolaio's selection you will also find the Mixed Fruit in white and pink, and the Ivory Shadedversion, ideal for ceremonies with a neutral palette. For girls' christenings or first communions, the Chocolate Almond Pink Shaded pair easily with pastel decorations.
For those who love the flavours of Neapolitan tradition, the La Napoletanità – The Mixes line gathers assorted flavours inspired by Campania pastry, available in 1 kg packaging.
Enzo Miccio Nuance Line
The collaboration with wedding planner Enzo Miccio has produced confetti specifically designed for contemporary weddings, with colours that break away from the classic white-pink-sky blue palette. The Maxtris Enzo Miccio Nuance are available in shades such as sage, nude, sugar paper, mauve, peach and dove. The flavour is based on chocolate almond aromatic with gianduia. Suitable for ceremonies with precise colour themes and shabby chic, Provençal or contemporary styling.
Other lines: Two Milk, Les Noisettes, Dark Chocolate and Dolce Evento
- Two Milk: bicolour coating of white and milk chocolate, available in Classic White version and in shaded versions. Visually unusual, pleasant to taste.
- Les Noisettes: roasted hazelnut covered in dark or white chocolate, in Classic, Shaded, Nuance versions and Gold Luxury 500 g. An alternative to almond for those who prefer hazelnut.
- Classic Dark Chocolate: almond covered only in dark chocolate, without external coloured sugar. Suitable for those who want a less sweet confetto, more for tasting.
- Dolce Evento Mixed Fruit 500 g: assorted fruity flavours in a practical format. A light choice for summer ceremonies or informal events.
- Mandorla Avola Silver White: Avola almond covered in sugar with silvery pearl finish. Recommended for weddings and ceremonies with a silver or milk white palette.
How to choose Maxtris confetti for your ceremony
For your wedding the traditional choice is white Dolce Sposa or Sposa Novella. If you want to match the confetto to the colour theme — neutral colours, sandy tones, sage green — the Enzo Miccio Nuance line is the most suitable. For confetti tossing with a variety of flavours, you can combine two or three Chocolate Almond variants in coordinated colours. You'll find the dedicated selection on the Maxtris confetti for weddings.
For the christening sky blue (boy) or pink (girl) are traditionally chosen: the Classics line offers both. The pastel shades of the Nuance line integrate well with shabby chic decorations. All proposals for the little ones are in the Maxtris confetti for birth.
For first communion and confirmation white remains the reference colour, but families increasingly choose Chocolate Almond flavours — pistachio, tiramisu, hazelnut — to please the invited children. The flavours of the La Napoletanità line are particularly appreciated in this context.
For graduation vivid colours (red, yellow, green) are more suitable. The Sposa Novella / Graduation Red 1 kg is conceived precisely for this occasion. The Maxtris confetti for graduation page gathers the most suitable options for celebrating the academic milestone.
For a promise of marriage, if the colour theme provides for it, the green confetti for promise of marriage are an alternative to traditional white.
How many packages to purchase? As a practical reference: 1 kg of confetti covers approximately 25–30 party favours with 5–6 confetti each. For events with over 100 guests, at least 3–4 kg per flavour variety should be calculated. For those wishing to compare the full range, the catalogue gathers all available lines.
At L'Arcolaio's retail outlet — open Monday to Saturday 8:30–19:00, Sunday 10:00–19:00, in Pignataro Interamna a few minutes from the Cassino junction on the A1 — we have a chilled room dedicated to confetti, where you can see and taste samples before ordering.
You can also consult the confetti and sweets page if you are looking for a wider assortment including sweets and other treats for the confetti tossing.
Frequently asked questions about Maxtris confetti
What is the difference between Chocolate Almond confetti and classic confetti?
The Ciocomandorla confetti have a roasted almond covered in flavoured chocolate (white, milk or dark) and an external layer of coloured sugar. The classic confetti — such as Dolce Sposa and Sposa Novella — instead have a peeled almond covered directly in sugar, without intermediate chocolate. The classic flavour is more delicate; the Chocolate Almond is more intense and aromatic.
Are Maxtris confetti gluten-free?
Yes: the majority of Maxtris products in the catalogue are gluten-free and palm oil-free. However, they may contain traces of tree nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, pistachios, peanuts) and soy due to possible cross-contamination during production. Before purchase it is always advisable to check the ingredient list of the individual product.
What does "Avola confetti" mean?
The term Mandorla Avola indicates the use of almond produced in the Avola area, in Sicily, known for its crunchiness and pronounced flavour. In the Maxtris catalogue you will find it in the Mandorla Avola Silverline, with silvery pearl finish, available in 1 kg packaging.
How should Maxtris confetti be stored?
Confetti should be kept in a cool and dry place, away from sources of heat and humidity, preferably between 15 °C and 20 °C. Once the package is opened, it is best to seal it hermetically or transfer the confetti to an airtight container, to preserve crunchiness and fragrance.
What is the most suitable format for party favours?
For party favours the 500 g format to be portioned into bags or boxes is generally used, or the 1 kg format for large ceremonies or confetti tossing. Special formats — such as the Mixed Fruit line 500 g — are a valid alternative for those who want to vary from almond alone.
Can I order Maxtris confetti online and collect them from the shop?
Yes. L'Arcolaio ships throughout Italy and to 21 European countries. Alternatively, you can order online and pick up directly at L'Arcolaio's retail outlet in Pignataro Interamna, where you will also find the chilled room dedicated to confetti to choose in person.
