The Jelly Belly Candy Company, or simply Jelly Belly, is a maker of jelly beans and other candy. Formerly known as The Herman Goelitz Candy Company. The company is based in Fairfield, California.

Jelly Belly produces more than 34 million pounds (15000 tonnes) of candy annually.

Jelly Belly has nearly 800,000 square feet (74,000 m2) of production space between its Fairfield , North Chicago, Illinois, and Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin facilities.

Jelly Belly makes many varieties of jelly beans, including Juicy Pear, Watermelon, A&W Root Beer, Very Cherry and Buttered Popcorn.

The jelly beans were most famously endorsed by U.S. President Ronald Reagan, who kept a jar of them on his desk in the White House and on Air Force One, and who also made them the first jelly beans in outer space, sending them on the 1983 Challenger shuttle as a surprise for the astronauts.

History

Jelly Belly distribution center in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin.

David Klein (born in 1946) created the marketing concept of a new kind of jelly bean to be sold in single flavors in 1976. He approached the family operating Herman Goelitz Candy Company to manufacture it. Fourth generation Goelitz descendent Herman G. Rowland, Sr., and his parents had decided to expand the company's products more than a decade before. The company was the first American manufacturer to make a gummi bear for the US market. They also made candy corn, mellocremes, gummi worms, giant jelly beans and mini jelly beans, which were the precursor to the famous Jelly Belly jelly bean. Confectioner Marinus van Dam was employed by the company to manage the plant and oversee new product development with Herman Rowland. Marinus van Dam was born in Ooltgensplaat, a township in Oostflakkee, Netherlands, on October 24, 1929. After obtaining a candy manufacturing degree in the Netherlands, he emigrated to the United States and went to work for the Herman Goelitz Candy Company in the 1960s. He rose to the level of vice president before moving on to other companies and finally starting his own business, Marich Confectionery.

Traditional jelly beans started out with plain, uncolored pectin centers that were merely sweetened with sugar. Only the outer candy coating was colored and flavored. The third and fourth generation of the candy family decided to produce a superior jelly bean to set itself off from traditional jelly beans. The centers for the company's mini jelly bean were colored and flavored. This flavor enhancing process was also used on the outer candy shell. With the new generation of Jelly Belly beans the company used real fruit juices and natural flavors when possible to boost the taste experience further. The finished Jelly Belly beans contained about half the sugar of the regular jelly bean, and were more flavorful than the generic jelly beans sold in stores.

David Klein sold the first Jelly Belly jelly beans in an ice cream parlor, Fosselman's, in Alhambra, California in 1976. The first flavors were Very Cherry, Tangerine, Lemon, Green Apple, Grape Jelly, Licorice, A&W Root Beer, and A&W Cream Soda.

Mr. Jelly Belly, Jelly Belly's mascot

The company's official mascot is Mr. Jelly Belly, an anthropomorphic cartoon jellybean character with a face. He appears on the packaging and marketing since his introduction in 1996.

Facilities

Entrance to the Jelly Belly Factory Tour

The company operates two manufacturing plants in Fairfield, Calif., and in North Chicago, Ill. A third facility is a distribution center in Pleasant Prairie, Wis., which offers public tours.

The Jelly Belly Factory in Fairfield, California, has daily tours and was named "Best Factory Tour in America" by a 2005 Reader's Digest article. The tours, which are free for anyone, take visitors along suspended walkways over the rooms where the candy is manufactured, stopping them from time to time to watch video segments about what is going on below. Free samples are distributed afterward. Visitors can also purchase bags of Belly Flops, imperfect jelly beans that didn't quite make it to specification. A feature of the tour are several portraits made entirely of Jelly Belly jelly beans, including Republican presidents Ronald Reagan, George Bush Sr. and Abraham Lincoln, Republican California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and President George Washington.

Another public tour in Pleasant Prairie, Wis., operates daily and takes visitors on an indoor electric train ride through the facility to learn how candy is made, see retired manufacturing equipment and watch shipping.

Soda Glazing $20.54 Soda glazing was, for many years, the neglected cousin of salt glazing. As pollution laws have become stricter, however, more potters have turned to soda and, to their delight, found not only the traditional orange peel surface but also a subtle palette of colors that have made them sit up and take notice. In this book Ruthanne Tudball discusses the history of and techniques involved in soda glazing. She includes body and slip recipes, kiln designs, and firing methods specifically developed for soda glazing. She illustrates her text with the work of an international group of artists.
