The Timeless Tradition of Les Anis de Flavigny Candy

Les Anis de Flavigny candy is considered the oldest candy in France, mentioned in a document as early as 872. In the 17th century, when the candy was manufactured by Ursuline sisters, six months were needed to add and dry the successive coats of sugar. Today, the factory is still situated at the heart of the ancient abbey, but the process is completed in only 15 days. The 50-gram oval tin is highly recognizable and classical in French culture.
