Altoids, the original curiously strong mints, were first produced in England at the turn of the 19th century during the reign of King George III.  The recipe for Altoids was perfected by Smith & Company, a London confectionary firm.  Today Altoids peppermints are specially formulated peppermint lozenges many times stronger than ordinary mints. Their curious strength comes from the more than generous use of real peppermint oil, as prescribed in the original recipe developed by Smith & Co. in the early 1800’s.
