Blackcurrant-filled sweets

Blackcurrant Bonbons Barnier sweets: a timeless treat

For over a century, Bonbons Barnier has crafted its own sweets respecting traditional confectionary methods.

The candy’s heart is filled with a natural blackcurrant pulp, carefully prepared to preserve all the fruit intensity and freshness. This filling is placed at the center of each candy using a specific rolling and shaping technique, mastered by Barnier confectioners for generations.

Blackcurrant is much more than a simple berry. Cultivated in France since the Renaissance, once prized for its medical properties before becoming the emblem of Burgundian indulgence. It was in 1841 when Auguste-Denis Lagoute, in Dijon, created the famous crème de cassis, elevating blackcurrant to one of the most beloved delicacies. The blackcurrant bud is even used in the composition of prestigious perfumes, including the emblematic Lancôme’s La Vie Est Belle, for its unique green, fruity notes. This attests the unique, complex aroma of this fruit. With Barnier’s candies you hold in your hands the full historical and aromatic richness of this fascinating ingredient.

Indulge yourself with this blackcurrant confectionery that blends tradition and simplicity. A delightful moment that awakens the senses and tells a story, for a fruity and authentic pleasure.
