bonbons Loup
old fashioned sweets
Gum arabic (gomme d’acacia) goes into many sweet gummy treats but holds pride of place in the bonbons Loup made at the Confiserie Adam in Herrlisheim-près-Colmar, flavoured with eucaylptus, liquorice (Tipsal) or extra liquorice (Lakritzine).
The packaging used to brag about using 30% gomme d’acacia but as that mostly comes from war-torn Sudan, it’s not easy to come by anymore.
They also make full range of more kid-friendly sweets and dragées.
