Sweet success of Ceylon Chocolates This article on Ceylon Chocolates Ltd was highlighted in the December issue of the world famous confectionery magazine Kennedy's Confection which has a readership of over 43,000. The magazine was established in 1890. Ceylon Chocolates Ltd was established in 1962, initially producing a range of moulded chocolates under the Kandos brand name. The production process has since been modernised. Within a short period, Kandos became the market leader for chocolate confectionery with over 60 per cent of the Sri Lankan market. Kandos Chocolates are produced in Kandy. This has a cool climate and is ideally situated to receive cocoa beans from surrounding areas. All Kandos products are manufactured from 100 per cent cocoa butter and the chocolate is produced from the first variety of cocoa to be introduced, known as Criollo. Smooth milk chocolate is popular throughout Sri Lanka. Product lines The Kandos 21 collection is the most popular box of chocolate produced by the company. The range is made from 100 per cent Criollo beans. Milk chocolates are made in milk and orange flavours and are manufactured in a variety of formats. Nut and milk chocolates are very popular, usually incorporating the locally available cashewnuts, although the company also produces coated peanuts. Kandos also manufactures boxed blends of milk chocolates and mixtures of milk, fruit and nut and cashewnut products. It also manufactures gift packs, speciality products and cocoa powder and chocolate slabs for domestic and industrial usage. Delta Kandos operates a sugar confectionery division known as Delta. Wrapped sweets are favoured throughout Sri Lanka and the company has the market-leading position in the soft-boiled sweet category. |
