At the SIAL Paris 2026 trade show, historic Italian confectionery manufacturer Grondona is demonstrating how deeply rooted family heritage can drive modern international expansion. Represented by its sixth generation of leadership, the Genoese company has taken to the global stage to present its time-honored artisanal portfolio alongside fresh product innovations aimed at solidifying its position across European and overseas markets.
Central to Grondona’s exhibition presence is its top-selling Baci di Dama, a signature hazelnut biscuit that continues to perform exceptionally well within the competitive French retail landscape as well as across key export destinations. Building on this momentum, the company is capitalizing on the high-profile trade event to launch a new premium line of traditional Milanese Panettone. The lineup includes classic recipes featuring refined glazes and pure chocolate, all packaged under the iconic branding of the blonde girl reaching for biscuits—a symbol representing continuity, multi-generational appeal, and authentic Italian baking traditions.
