The Taste of Summer – Piña Colada

Our 2026 Candies are flavoured with the classic taste of Piña Colada, where sweet pineapple and creamy coconut come together in perfect harmony.

The flavour evokes warm summer days, sandy beaches and relaxing holidays beneath palm trees. The pineapple adds a refreshing fruity tang, while the coconut brings a smooth, creamy sweetness.

The result is a refreshing summer candy that both children and adults can enjoy – completely alcohol-free, yet full of tropical flavour.

The Story Behind Piña Colada and Pineapple

Piña Colada is one of the world’s best-known tropical cocktails. Combining pineapple and coconut, it has become synonymous with summer holidays and sunshine for generations.

Pineapple originally comes from Brazil and was first brought to Europe by Christopher Columbus in 1493. Its name means “the incomparable fruit”, and it has long been treasured for its naturally sweet and juicy flavour.

The particularly sweet pineapple variety that inspired the flavour of our candies was developed in Hawaii during the 1970s. Sømods Bolcher has used this naturally inspired flavour ever since, forming the basis of our tropical Piña Colada recipe.

How We Make Our Number Candies

All of our gourmet candies are handmade using traditional confectionery techniques.

Production begins with approximately 20 kg of pure pearl sugar, which is heated to almost 180°C. Once the molten sugar is poured onto the production table, natural colours are added. A small portion is coloured yellow and black, while the main batch remains clear.

The larger sugar batch is then flavoured with natural Piña Colada flavouring and a touch of tartaric acid, which perfectly balances the sweetness with a refreshing finish.

Next, the sugar is worked on our traditional candy hook, incorporating air into the mixture. This turns the sugar white while also creating a smoother, more delicate flavour.

Now the true craftsmanship begins. Layer by layer, the number 2026 is carefully built by hand from the centre using the white, black and yellow sugar. Once the design is complete, it is wrapped inside the remaining sugar mass so that every single candy reveals the same perfectly formed year.

Finally, the candy is pulled into long ropes and cut by hand using a spatula or open scissors over a traditional 5 kg weight. This creates the distinctive open ends where the 2026 design can clearly be seen.
