The contribution to the world of caramel from the initiator of the saga, Mariano Gil, was innovative when he created candies based on the essence of violet. These were so successful from their appearance that, in fact, it is the candy that is associated as typical of Madrid. Despite the current profusion of these sweets in pastry shops and shops, La Violeta is the only business that sells the original sweet. In addition to the violet candies, the natural candied violets, assorted candies (strawberry, orange, lemon, coffee, anise and mint) and chocolates complete the exquisite universe of artisan products offered by this centennial establishment. And it is that everything in La Violeta reflects tradition: its wooden doorway and curved glass windows, its classic sideboards and displays and the beautiful lamp that illuminates the content space of the premises continue to arouse the admiration of any passerby who passes by. Today, the third generation of the same family is in charge of the business that is proud to have never closed, not even during the Civil War.
