Zana Candies -Albanian candies from 80’

Karamele Zana were simple caramel sweets that you could find everywhere in the Good Old Days. Zana caramels were originally produced by Albanian vineyards in the 1980s. At that time, they were wrapped in a memorable first layer transparent red paper outside and a second layer white paper inside.

Surviving the fall of the Communist regime, they remained in the Albanian market even after the 1990s.

For those who still have nostalgia for these candies, you can find them in Tirana. We have tried it at the Komiteti Kafe-Muze, you can also buy them at the Insifa Candy House at the Castle of Tirana.
