Experience a rare and indigenous fruit treat with Olive Candy (Chorphon), made from wild Indian olives native to Northeast India. Known locally as Chorphon in Manipur, this fruit is prized for its naturally tangy, slightly astringent taste, now transformed into a delicious sweet and chewy candy.

Chorphon, also known as Indian olive or Ceylon olive (Elaeocarpus serratus), is widely consumed in Northeast India and is traditionally eaten raw with salt, made into chutneys, or preserved as pickles and candies.

The fruit has a distinctive sour profile that tingles the palate, making it ideal for sweet-and-sour preparations.

This candy captures that unique flavor by balancing tanginess with sweetness, offering a refreshing and nostalgic snack experience that stands apart from regular fruit candies.
