Frequently Asked Questions

Product information

What does Lavolio mean?
The name Lavolio is a made-up word that mixes the founder’s name ‘Lavinia’ and surname ‘Davolio’ and also roughly translates from her mother tongue, Italian, as ‘I want it’. We thought it fitting for our delicious Italian Confectionery.

How many sweets are in each tin?
The quantity of Lavolio sweets inside each tin is based on weight:

Medium tins (10.2cm x 10.2cm x 5cm) contain: 175g which amounts to approx 30-45 sweets of different sizes in variable proportion.


Miniature tins (6cm x 6cm x 5cm) contain: 60g which amounts to approx 10-15 sweets of different sizes in variable proportion.


Maxi tins (21cm x 21cm x 5cm) contain: 250g which amounts to approx 50-75 sweets of different sizes in variable proportion.

What is inside the tin?
Each Lavolio tin is hand packed to contains a mix of different flavours and textures, depending on each collection: an assortment of real pieces of fruit or whole nuts, coated in chocolate or mixed with spices and then covered with a thin sugar shell.

Each box is different because of the process that we use for packing: all the different flavours are mixed in bulk, and then weighted into the single tins.

Because of this, we describe on the ingredients label that the sweets contained are in variable proportions.

Allergy Cautions?
Lavolio confectionery is gluten-free but contains nuts, soya and dairy. Please always check allergy cautions on the product information. Lavolio Soft Nougat also contains eggs. Please note that every flavour may contain traces of other nuts and peanuts.
