Fortuin Wilhelmina Peppermint

Wilhelmina Peppermints are a classic Dutch confectionery known for their distinctive royal profile. Created in 1892 by Fortuin in Dokkum, the mints were developed to commemorate the 12th birthday of Princess Wilhelmina and have since become a symbol of Dutch heritage. The brand holds a Royal Warrant, signifying its historical quality and connection to the Dutch Royal Family.

The product is manufactured in Dokkum, Netherlands, where Fortuin has maintained production for over a century. In terms of ownership, the brand remained independent for most of its history until it was acquired by the Dutch confectionery group continental Candy Industries (CCI). In 2023, CCI was acquired by the Italian-Dutch confectionery giant Ferrero Group, placing the brand under the ultimate ownership of one of the world's largest chocolate and confectionery companies.
