Born into a family of chocolate makers, he was well acquainted with the world of confectionery. Demand for the fruit delicacy increased, and Confidas moved to a new site in Drongen in 1993. There the company brought in specialised machinery to produce fruit jellies. Confidas has built up an excellent reputation in Belgium and abroad.<\/p>\n<p>The number of varieties it produces has increased over the years. The <a href=\"http:\/\/b2b.confidas.com\/en\/products\/classics-assortment\/\">Classics assortment<\/a> with little fruit shapes and squares has expanded to include <a href=\"http:\/\/b2b.confidas.com\/en\/products\/moments-assortment\/\">seasonal products<\/a> such as Easter eggs and hearts. However Confidas has always remained faithful to the recipe for genuine fruit jellies\u00a0(p\u00e2tes de fruits) by guaranteeing a minimum fruit content of 50%, 60% and even up to 70%, with no artificial colourings or flavourings.<\/p>\n<p>\r\n<style>\r\n\r\n\t\/*Used to keep captions inside the visible area*\/\r\n\t#foogallery-gallery-871 .foo-item {\r\n\t\tmax-height:
