peppermint oil

Peppermint oil is at the heart of every true mint flavor! Obtained by steam distillation from the leaves of peppermint, it provides the typically refreshing kick. The tiny oil glands on the underside of the leaves store the essential oil and release it when touched - this is exactly what gives mint its distinctive scent and taste.

Worth knowing

Peppermint belongs to the genus Mentha, which includes around 30 species. Originally from Asia, it spread throughout Europe via England and Greece. Her name comes from Greek mythology: the nymph Minthe, daughter of the river god Cocytos, was loved by Hades - but the jealous Persephone turned her into a plant. This is how a tragic love story became one of the most refreshing plants in the world.
