Rowntree Fruit Pastilles Pouch 143g (Pack of 6)

Delicous

one of my favorite british sweeties

They seem more citrusy and lack the actual flavor of the Pastel the color represents. It is not on all the orders I have placed, just a couple, this being one. I’ll still order them because I grew up eating them as a child and I love them, it’s just there a hit and a miss.

I’ve been consuming these since about 1961 and they have never failed to please. Same great consistency and flavor. Worth the spend if you like fruit gums.

First, I am a fan of chewy gummy fruit candies. These pastilles had some rave reviews, but I found them to be only okay. The very first one I tried was kind of pale green and had a strong Sulphur flavor with the fruit. I guessed lime, but it is not, because dark green is certainly lime. All the citrus flavors use strong peel oils to strengthen the flavors. I am not a fan of strong citrus peel oils, they kind of burn my tongue and leave my teeth funky. The berry flavors are good, however I think ALL a the flavors would benefit from a reduction of the acid, as the ”sour” is out of balance. I will eat them, but I won’t order them again. Based on many reviews, these are supposed to be the best. I am glad I did not try the “off-brand”. Who knows what those must be like???
