Mentos Fruit

Mentos is a globally recognized brand of scotch mints and chewy candies. Originally created in the Netherlands in the early 1930s, the brand transitioned from its origins at the Van Melle company to international fame. The specific Fruit variety shown features various fruit-flavored chewy dragees wrapped in a portable roll.

Today, the brand is owned by Perfetti Van Melle, a major Italian-Dutch multinational corporation formed through the merger of Perfetti and Van Melle. While the brand has Dutch roots, production is distributed across several global facilities to serve local markets efficiently. In Brazil and other South American regions, it is a staple of the confectionery market, often produced in local regional factories controlled by the parent group.
