Mentos Discovery chewy candy

Mentos is a globally recognized brand of chewy dragee candies, originally created in the Netherlands during the 1930s by the brothers Michael and Pierre van Melle. The product shown, Mentos Discovery, offers a variety of 14 different fruit flavors within a single pack, maintaining the brand's signature crisp outer shell and soft, chewy center.

Manufacturing of Mentos products takes place in various specialized facilities around the world, including significant production sites in the Netherlands, Italy, and Brazil, to serve different regional markets. The brand underwent a major structural change in 2001 when the Dutch company Van Melle merged with the Italian confectionery giant Perfetti. This merger formed Perfetti Van Melle, which remains the ultimate owner and headquartered in both Italy and the Netherlands. As one of the world's largest confectionery manufacturers, Perfetti Van Melle continues to innovate with vegan-friendly recipes as seen on this specific packaging.
