Albanese Confectionery Group, Inc. received its second award for their newest product

at the Candy Industry sponsored 2020 ECRM Everyday & Summer Seasonal Candy

Planning Session Aug. 31-Sept. 11. First place winners of the ECRM “Buyer’s Choice

Award” are recognized for the best and most innovative product in three prestigious

categories. ULTIMATE™ 8 Flavor Gummi Bears™, recipient of the 2020 NEXTY Consumer

Choice Award, won first place for best product in the non-chocolate category.

The awards were carefully selected from a panel of judges comprised of retail buyers

who evaluated 98 products in the categories of chocolate, non-chocolate, and novelty.

Each product is evaluated on innovation, point of differentiation, and origin story.

Winners will receive a special callout in the post-program coverage, set to appear on

CandyIndustry.com in October.

The Albanese Team is ecstatic to be recognized for a second award for our

Ultimate™ 8 Flavor Gummi Bears™ said Bethany Albanese, Co-President,

at Albanese Confectionery Group, Inc.

We’re grateful for the response we’ve received from retail buyers who are

just as excited as we are about our new line featuring unique natural flavors

and colors made from real fruits and vegetables. We’re also proud to say

this line includes all of the trending attributes of allergen free, gluten free,

fat free, MSG free, and they are made in the USA.

Albanese, manufacturer of the “World’s Best” gummies and chocolates, elevates the

gummi tasting experience in their new ULTIMATE™ line by using their signature texture,

one-of-a-kind true-to-fruit natural flavors, and superior, locally sourced ingredients.

The Ultimate™ 8 Flavor Gummi Bears™ really take flavor profiles to the

ultimate level, said Dominique Albanese, Co-President, at Albanese

Confectionery.

The variety of unique real fruit flavors give your palate the experience of

biting into the actual fruit. From the skin on the outside, to the juicy flesh

on the inside, your taste buds will be begging for the next flavor.

ULTIMATE™ 8 Flavor Gummi Bears™ launched earlier this year with eight novel flavors:

the sharply sweet Alphonso Mango, the freshly superior Amity Raspberry, the signature

Asian Pear, the earthy Black Currant, the intense Blood Orange, the powerful Crimson

Cranberry, the honey-sweet Fuji Apple, and the bold Queen Pineapple.
