Pronounced
bon'bon-yâr (as in care)- europeans like to say bohn bohn yaire (pronouncing
the finale "e")
The concept behind Bonboniere, originated in France, around 300 years ago, when a small box of sweets (the french word - bonbons) was given away to guests on happy occasions. Over time the idea spread to other parts of Europe, and in particular to Italy and Greece. Wedding Bomboniere (the Italian spelling) consisted of an uneven number (typically 5) of sugar-coated almonds, representing the bittersweet life of a married couple. The five almonds have significant meaning - wishing the new husband & wife: happiness, health, wealth, children & a long life. In Greece they are known as "Koufeta" (the Greek word for wedding favours) The giving of the bonbonničre is also traditional for christenings, baptisms, communions, confirmations, and graduations.
Our
sugar-coated almonds are made in Australia
by a family of second generation Italian confectioners. The best of both worlds:
a traditional family recipe, made to the highest Australian health standards.
They are made with premium Australian almonds and Australian sugar. Peace of
mind knowing there are no cheap dicey overseas products used and no health concerns.
There is no need to worry about buying the almonds too soon, or them going stale.
