CHIPS Lightly Mentholated Italian Pastilles, Gourmet Individually Wrapped Fruit Candy Assortment, Cherry Blackberry Lime Lemon Orange, Vegan Gluten

Brand: Chipurnoi

Open the pouch and you will find 360 individually wrapped pastilles, each one a small, polka-dotted disc twist-wrapped by color - red for Cherry, dark purple for Blackberry, green for Lime, yellow for Lemon, orange for Orange. Pop one in. The texture is tender and chewy, not hard or brittle. Then comes the menthol - light, clean, just enough to leave a cool, refreshing sensation without overpowering the fruit flavor underneath. That is the CHIPS experience. It has been since 1947. Chipurnoi Confectionery has been perfecting Italian pastilles for four generations. The recipe uses beet sugar, acacia gum for prebiotic fiber, vegetable glycerine, natural menthol, and plant-based colors from elderberry juice, spinach extract, and turmeric. Certified gluten-free, non-GMO, and vegan. No artificial colors. No preservatives. 7 grams of dietary fiber per 23-piece serving. The 14 oz resealable pouch is designed to live somewhere useful - a desk drawer, a car console, a kitchen counter, a travel bag. Individual wrappers mean every piece you do not eat stays fresh for the one you will. It is the kind of candy that earns its place in a rotation: not as a novelty, but as a consistent, small pleasure that happens to be better made than most of what shares the candy aisle with it. And when you need a gift for the person who loves real European sweets, authentic Italian food, or just something they have never tried before - 360 pieces in a resealable silver pouch wraps up more than candy. It wraps up nearly 80 years of Italian craft and the quiet confidence of a family who never needed to shout about what they make. Q: What does "lightly mentholated" mean - is the menthol strong or overpowering? A: The menthol in CHIPS Pastilles is subtle and intentionally light. It reads as a cool, clean finish after the fruit flavor, similar to a mild breath-freshening sensation. It is not sharp, medicinal, or comparable to a strong mint candy or cough drop. Q: Are these hard candy or soft and chewy? A: These are soft and chewy pastilles - tender discs with a gentle, satisfying chew. They are not hard candy and will not crack teeth. The texture is closer to a soft gumdrop or fruit chew than a hard drop. Q: What are the five flavors included in the assortment? A: The Assorted Fruits variety includes Cherry, Blackberry, Lime, Lemon, and Orange. All five flavors are mixed together in the pouch and individually twist-wrapped with color-coded wrappers to make each flavor easy to identify. Q: Are CHIPS Pastilles vegan and gluten-free? A: Yes. CHIPS Pastilles are certified gluten-free, non-GMO, and vegan. They contain no animal-derived ingredients, no artificial colors (colors come from elderberry juice, spinach extract, and turmeric), and no preservatives. Q: How many pieces are in the 14 oz pouch and how large is each piece? A: The 14 oz (360-count) pouch contains approximately 360 individually wrapped pastilles. Each piece is a small disc approximately the diameter of a large grape - compact enough to keep in a pocket, but satisfying enough that one or two at a time is plenty. Q: What are the main ingredients? A: Sugar (from beets), corn syrup, acacia gum, vegetable glycerine, citric acid, natural and artificial flavors, menthol, and plant-based colors (elderberry juice, spinach extract, turmeric). Full ingredient list appears on the product label. Q: Does the pouch reseal to keep the candy fresh? A: Yes. The silver pouch features a resealable closure. Each individual piece is also twist-wrapped, providing a second layer of freshness protection for every pastille that remains in the pouch. Q: Are CHIPS Pastilles a good gift? A: They make a distinctive and genuinely appreciated gift - especially for fans of authentic Italian food, European confectionery, or premium candy. The 360-count resealable pouch works well in gift baskets, care packages, and office gift sets. They are particularly memorable for anyone who has never encountered Italian pastilles before. Q: Is there a difference between CHIPS Assorted Fruits and other CHIPS varieties? A: Yes. CHIPS Pastilles come in multiple flavor varieties. This listing is specifically for the Assorted Fruits variety: Cherry, Blackberry, Lime, Lemon, and Orange with a light menthol profile. Other varieties (such as licorice or eucalyptus) have different flavor profiles and are sold separately. Q: How much dietary fiber do CHIPS Pastilles contain? A: Each serving of 23 pieces (30g) contains 7 grams of dietary fiber, contributing 25% of the Daily Value. This fiber comes from acacia gum, a natural prebiotic ingredient used in the recipe. Q: Are these made in Italy? A: Yes. CHIPS Pastilles are manufactured in Italy by Chipurnoi Confectionery, a family company that has been producing European confectionery since 1932. The CHIPS Pastilles product line has been made to the same Italian recipe since 1947. Q: Is this product suitable for people with nut allergies? A: Not specified in the provided information. The ingredient label does not list tree nuts or peanuts as ingredients, but allergen cross-contact information is not confirmed in available product documentation. Buyers with severe nut allergies should verify directly with the manufacturer before purchasing.
