Factory Tour: How Jelly Belly Candies are MadeYou’d think that just because candies are often eaten quickly, then they’d also be made just as fast in the candy factory, but that’s not always the case.Flavor demands time — at least for Jelly Belly, as it takes a week or more to produce their 100-plus flavors of jelly beans. The company has a 250,000-square-foot factory in San Francisco and a team of about 200 confectioners, producing 1.25 million candies every hour. Each sweet treat is a mixture of sugar, water, cornstarch, and corn syrup to which confectioners add juices, purees, and other components to give each jelly bean an identity.The story of each Jelly Belly jelly bean starts with a machine called mogul, which creates molds for the candy’s core. Each tray can hold more than 1,000 soft treats.
