How are candies made? In the middle of Halloween, the France Télévisions teams take you behind the scenes of the production of Carambar & Co sweets, as part of the “Behind our labels” section on Tuesday October 31.
In the middle of Halloween, the colors of the candy catch our eye on the stalls. How are they made? One of the biggest French manufacturers has agreed to reveal some of its secrets to the France Télévisions teams. In the factory Carambar & Co from Saint-Genest-d’Ambière (Vienna)we produce 15,000 tonnes of candy per year. The mixture that serves as the base for all varieties of candy contains, unsurprisingly, mostly sugar.

The mixture is heated to 90°Cuntil you obtain a syrup. The syrup is then cooled on a drum and kneaded, to give the candy its soft texture. Then comes the time to add color and taste to this dough, with natural flavors and colorings. Present on the set of 13 Heures, Tuesday October 31, the journalist Dorothée Lachaud explains that there are 600 regional varieties of candy in France.
