 Curiously Strong Mints... still available in their famous tins.
Altoids, the Original Celebrated Curiously Strong Mints, were first produced in England at the turn of the 19th century. The small London firm that developed the original "curiously strong" recipe, later became part of Callard & Bowser, a prestigious English confectioner founded in 1837. [more below] |

Altoids are specially formulated lozenges many times stronger
than ordinary mints. Their curious strength comes from the more than
generous use of real peppermint oil, as prescribed in the original
recipe at the turn of the 19th century. Today, all Altoids are made to
the same exacting standards as the original Altoids recipe developed
more than 200 years ago. |
