A traditionally English presentation form of peppermint are cream-filled thalers, which here are just under 1.5 cm high and thus particularly lush. For their rich taste provides the cool refreshing and creamy melting fondant filling of pleasant sweetness, prepared with the English Black Mitcham peppermint oil, which makes a thoroughly harmonious combination with the rich dark chocolate coating.

Until the early 20th century, England was famous for its exceptionally good mint. Sir Michael Colman (1928-2023), a mustard manufacturer who had been involved in spices and pungency for more than four decades, decided in 1995 to revive this quality and counter the often inharmonious peppermint oils, mostly imported from Asia, with the clear, balanced taste of English peppermint. To this end, he founded a farm in Hampshire where he had the essential oil of the famous Black Mitcham mint extracted from the field-fresh plants immediately after harvesting - in a specially constructed distillery. The result is a rare, intense, pure peppermint oil that is second to none and is still responsible for the incomparably good taste of Summerdown's products today.
