Raffaello (confection)

Raffaello is a spherical confectionery product manufactured by the Italian company Ferrero. Introduced in 1989, it is a coconut-almond confection that is a part of the Ferrero Collection of chocolates.

History

The Raffaello confection was first introduced to the market in 1989. It was developed by the Italian company Ferrero, which is also known for its Ferrero Rocher and Kinder Chocolate products. The confection was created as a part of the Ferrero Collection, which also includes the Ferrero Rocher and Rondnoir chocolates.

Composition

The Raffaello confection consists of a whole almond that is encased in a thin wafer shell filled with coconut cream and covered with shredded coconut. Unlike the Ferrero Rocher and Rondnoir chocolates, the Raffaello does not contain any chocolate. The absence of chocolate and the presence of coconut and almond give the Raffaello a unique taste and texture that sets it apart from other confections in the Ferrero Collection.

Packaging

Raffaello confections are typically packaged in a white, spherical wrapper that is accented with a red and gold Ferrero logo. The white color of the wrapper is intended to reflect the coconut ingredient of the confection, while the red and gold logo signifies the Ferrero brand. The confections are often sold in boxes, with each box containing multiple individually wrapped Raffaello confections.

Availability

Raffaello confections are available in many countries around the world. They are often sold in supermarkets, convenience stores, and online retailers. In addition to being sold individually, Raffaello confections are also commonly included in assorted chocolate boxes, particularly those that are part of the Ferrero Collection.
