Marco Polo Strawberry Fruit Filled Candy 198g (7oz)

Marco Polo Strawberry Fruit Filled Candy is a 198g bag of hard candies with a soft strawberry jam centre — the classic fruit-filled boiled sweet in a large-format bag from Marco Polo, the Croatian-heritage food brand whose pantry products and confectionery supply the Balkan and Mediterranean diaspora stores of North America. Marco Polo is a Croatian-rooted food brand producing the pantry staples, pickled vegetables, and confectionery that the Balkan and Croatian diaspora buys at specialty stores as the accessible, recognizable products from the former Yugoslav food tradition — the fruit-filled candies in particular are the format that Croatian, Bosnian, and Serbian households kept in the kitchen candy jar as the everyday hard sweet offered to visitors and children. Hard fruit-filled candies are a universal Balkan and Central European sweet tradition: the boiled sweet with the soft fruit centre that appears on every Croatian and Serbian kitchen counter in the ceramic candy jar, the candy that aunts and grandmothers pressed into children's hands at visits, and that the diaspora household keeps in the car and on the desk as the familiar everyday sweet. Keep in a candy bowl for visitors and children, eat as a long-lasting strawberry sweet for drives and errands, set on the table at a Slava or family gathering, or buy as the familiar fruit-filled candy that every Balkan household knew as the standard sweet in the kitchen jar.
