Classic French mints made from mineral water of the spa town Vichy.I think there was a queen of either France or England who once declared these as her favorite sweets.They come not individually wrapped, but all in one bag.They are white, chalky and standard size for hard candy.They are so addicting and so good.Has a more subtle mint taste.More sweet like candy than an American mint. More like a dessert than a breath-freshener.I love them.Product Description
These mints have been made in Vichy since 1828, when a local pharmacist figured out how to extract the minerals from the town's famous thermal waters. He mixed the extract with sugar and natural mint flavors, and produced the tablet. A favorite of the Empress Eugenie, the octogonal pastilles were immensely popular in the nineteenth century, not only for their reputed ability to cure heartburn but for their fresh minty flavor. The vogue for thermal waters has passed, but the candies remain, a testament of their tastiness.
