Beyond the bean

摘要

The Jelly Belly Candy Company is known for more than just jelly beans, producing over 70 types of confectionery, including gummies, chocolate-covered treats and seasonal lines, and exporting to more than 70 countries. But with its offering of more than 100 jelly bean flavours, I couldn't resist asking Rowland to reveal his favourite flavours. "They would be peach and pear," he replies. "But that's today," he adds with a smile. Despite having been a little under the weather during this years' ISM, Rowland certainly has a twinkle in his eye as we settle down for a chat about a lifetime spent in the confectionery industry, as does his daughter Lisa who joins us.
