Jelly Belly is the industry leader in gourmet jellybeans with exotic flavors. The company even produces a "recipe" list to create special flavor combinations in your mouth such as peanut butter and jelly, tiramisu, mud pie and blueberry muffin. Add this to my Recipe Box.

History

Herman Goelitz Candy Company began making gourmet jellybeans in 1976. The company soon changed its name to Jelly Belly.

Gourmet Process

The goal of the new gourmet jellybean recipe was to create an intense flavor using natural ingredients.

Original Flavors

The first Jelly Belly flavors were cream soda, tangerine, very cherry, lemon, root beer, green apple, licorice and grape.

Famous Ties

President Ronald Reagan loved jellybeans and reportedly kept a jar of Jelly Belly jellybeans on his desk. The company developed the blueberry flavor so Regan could serve red, white and blue jellybeans at political events.

Flavors

As of 2009, Jelly Belly produces over 50 flavors of jellybeans including chili mango, juicy pear, strawberry daiquiri and pink grapefruit.
