POLO Original Mints

Polo mints were first introduced in the United Kingdom in 1948 by Rowntree's. The brand is famous for its 'mint with the hole' marketing campaign and its distinctive ring shape. The name is often associated with the sport of polo, suggesting a sense of coolness and class.

Today, the brand is owned by the Swiss multinational food and drink conglomerate Nestlé, which acquired Rowntree's in 1988. The majority of Polo mints sold in the UK and Ireland are produced at the Nestlé factory in York. Nestlé oversees the brand's global distribution, maintaining its status as one of the most recognizable breath mint brands in the world.
