Taste
Where it comes from
Fruittella was created in the Netherlands in 1931 by the Van Melle company, who also make Mentos. It was one of the first chews to be made with fruit juice rather than flavouring alone, which was the selling point at the time and still is.
What it's made of
Glucose syrup, sugar and fully hydrogenated coconut oil worked into a chew, with fruit juices from concentrate, gelatine and natural flavourings.
