Bourbon Fettuccine Gummy Candy Italian Lemon

Fettuccine Gummy Italian Lemon names its source: lemons grown in Sicily.

The island has been the centre of Italian lemon production for centuries, and Sicilian lemons are prized for a thicker rind and a more aromatic oil than the thin-skinned fruit grown elsewhere — the perfume is as much of the appeal as the acidity.

Bourbon uses concentrated juice from them, and what comes through is kōnō de amazuppai, rich and sweet-sour, rather than a flat sourness.

The ingredient list is the shortest in the range.

Sugar, starch syrup, gelatin and lemon juice concentrate, with nothing else that qualifies as a flavour component — the colour comes from carotene, a plant pigment.

Among the four standard Fettuccine Gummy flavours, this is the one doing the least to the fruit.

The shape is Bourbon’s signature.

Each piece is rolled flat and wide like the pasta it is named for, which produces a springy al dente chew a thick gummy cannot manage, and gives far more surface for the sour powder coating every strand — on a lemon gummy that matters more than on any other flavour, because the powder is where the first hit of sourness lives.

50 g to a bag, with 54 mg of vitamin C.
