Mentos Kiss Mint pastilles

Mentos is a global confectionery brand originally created in the Netherlands in 1932 by the Van Melle brothers. The 'Kiss' line consists of sugar-free pastilles sold in convenient metal tins, designed to provide long-lasting breath freshness. In 2001, the Italian company Perfetti merged with the Dutch company Van Melle to form Perfetti Van Melle, which remains the ultimate owner of the brand. Today, Mentos products are manufactured in dozens of facilities worldwide to meet global demand, with significant production for the Brazilian and South American markets occurring within Brazil. The brand continues to be owned by the Perfetti Van Melle Group, headquartered in both Italy and the Netherlands.
