Velatis In The News - Goochland Courier

 If you are looking for a special gift for that someone on your list with a sweet tooth, you need to stop by Velatis in Maidens. The company has been in business since 1866 and its chewy and sugar caramel is “made from the original old European recipes.”

Taste selections include vanilla, vanilla with cashews, chocolate and chocolate with almonds, all made in both sugary and chewy assortments. Chocolate raspberry and vanilla and chocolate chewy marshmallow are also available. If none of this tempts your taste buds, check out some special seasonal varieties – black cherry brandy, chocolate creme de menthe, chocolate raspberry liqueur, sugar pumpkin spice or egg nog.

Velatis caramels are available in half-pound or one-pound boxes and prices run between $7 and $18 depending on the variety and amount.

The store also offers mugs, tins and gift boxes. A Courier and Ives tin sells for $4 plus the cost of the candy. Mugs filled with candy range from $12 - $15. This is one stop you will not want to miss.
