The history of Pastiglie Leone began in 1857 in a confectionery near Alba where Luigi Leone produces small, delicious, intense and fragrant pastilles to delight their customers at the end of the meal. The very first flavors are mint and digestive flavors: cinnamon, fernet, rhubarb, gentian to name a few. The tablets are kneaded and formed by hand and dried on the oven's mouth.
