Making starch-moulded marshmallows with Dietsch Brothers in 7 steps
Natalie Beall and Bryan Smith of Dietsch Brothers illustrate how Dietsch Brothers use an antique starch press to create a uniform-shaped product — a process that takes two days in its entirety.
Dietsch Brothers has been a member of Retail Confectioners International (RCI) since the 1980s, but the company history dates back to the late 1920s when three brothers joined forces to open a candy and ice cream store in Findlay, Ohio.
Nearly 100 years and two more generations later, this family business uses some of the same old-fashioned processes they used back then, such as the process of starch moulding to create their meticulously crafted starch-moulded marshmallows.
