How It's Made

Crafted with Tradition

Discover the meticulous art of creating Kendal Mint Cake, a process steeped in tradition yet embracing modern quality standards. Here’s a glimpse into the journey of crafting this minty marvel.

How it's made

Ingredient Mastery:

The journey begins with selecting high-quality ingredients - sugar, glucose syrup, and peppermint oil. These ingredients are the heart of Kendal Mint Cake, ensuring an authentic taste and energizing properties.

How it's made

The Melting Pot:

The sugar and glucose syrup are gently melted together in large copper pans, under controlled temperatures, to form a clear solution.

Interesting fact: The temperature required to boil the mixture varies day to day and throughout the seasons. This is due to the varying temperatures and pressures of the surrounding environment.

How it's made

A Minty Essence:

Once the desired consistency is achieved, peppermint oil is added to the mixture, infusing the blend with its distinctive minty essence.

We use a top-secret blend of Peppermint Oils from around the world to achieve our minty goodness.

How it's made

Moulding Perfection:

The mixture is then poured into moulds by hand and allowed to cool, solidifying into the iconic rectangular bars of Kendal Mint Cake we all love.

How it's made

Quality Assurance:

Each bar undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure it meets the high standards of taste, texture, and purity before it reaches your hands.
