Product Description The Jesmona brand is reputed to be named after the Jesmond area of Newcastle, the part of the world where their sweets were originally manufactured. The Jesmona name was bought by Maxons Ltd in 1960 and production moved to their Sheffield factory. With over half a centuries experience in confectionary making, we have come to produce a selected range of traditional sweets to high quality standards. Originally fronted by the enterprising Philip Pitchfork, Maxons are still run today by two of his grandsons making it a truly family run business. Take yourself back to your childhood, Jesmona specialise in classic confectionary that tastes as good now as it did back then. Our Black Bullets are a very traditional mint flavoured sweet, whose origins are lost in the mists of time. Black Bullets themselves are a fairly typical sweet from the North East of England where the word "Bullet" is a dialectic term for any boiled sweet. One myth surrounding Black Bullets is that they derive their distinctive shape and size from having been made in the moulds for musket balls. In many respects, Jesmona Black Bullets is a product before its time. Long before the current craze for natural products, Jesmona Black Bullets were made purely from sugar, glucose and peppermint oil with no artificial colourings or flavourings at all. Made in the United Kingdom all of our confectionary is of the highest quality. Ingredients Sugar, glucose syrup, oil of peppermint Directions Open the packaging carefully.
