High Street Hero - Maggio’s Confectionery

What does Italian and English confetti have in common? Well, they’re dished out at weddings—but little else. Rather, what our European cousins are referring to when they say ‘confetti’ is almonds, encased in a crunchy sugar or chocolate coating. Fortunately for the sweet-toothed among us, Massimo sells this version at Maggio’s Confectionery, all sourced from traditional, small scale Italian producers. Not only that, you can also find liquorice sweets from different Countries and organic liquorice root “Glycyrrhiza glabra” used for centuries as a sweetener and for its medicinal benefits because it’s very effective for various ailments of digestive origin and now used in cocktails and tea.
