After Eight mint chocolates

After Eight is a globally recognized brand of mint chocolate thins, famous for their signature 'clock' logo and elegant individual sachets. The brand was originally created to tap into the post-war trend for sophisticated dinner party treats, specifically designed to be enjoyed as an 'after-dinner' mint.

The product seen in the image is a limited 'Design Edition' by Walala, showcasing the brand's occasional collaborations with contemporary artists. While the brand is quintessentially British, its manufacturing and distribution have expanded under global ownership. The primary factory for After Eight is located in Halifax, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom, though other Nestlé confectionery sites in Europe also contribute to production for various markets.

Originally launched by the British company Rowntree's in 1962, the brand became part of the Nestlé portfolio following the acquisition of Rowntree's in 1988. Today, it remains one of the flagship chocolate brands for the Swiss multinational company, maintained as a premium offering in the chocolate category.
