Menthol Crystals (5 x 1kg)

Menthol crystals are clear to white, needle-like crystals with an intense cooling mint flavour, supplied in a bulk box for food manufacturers, sweet shops, bakeries and re-packers across the UK. Also known as peppermint camphor, they are highly concentrated, so a very small amount flavours a large batch of sweets, chocolate or syrup. Buying at wholesale price keeps production stocked for UK food businesses.

Key Features of Wholesale Menthol Crystals

• Bulk & Wholesale Supply: Sold as a wholesale pack for confectionery makers, sweet shops, bakeries, wholesalers and re-packers who use mint flavouring every week.
• Trade Pricing: The crystals are so concentrated that a bulk buy at trade price spreads the cost across many production batches.
• Cooling Mint Character: Gives a sharp peppermint note and a distinct cooling sensation on the palate, which is why it is used in mints and boiled sweets.
• Solid Crystal Form: The crystals can be weighed accurately, then dissolved in alcohol or warm fat before mixing in. Add them late in the cook, as menthol is volatile.
• Use Sparingly: Measure on accurate scales rather than by eye. Small dosing errors show up quickly in the finished flavour.
• Storage & Handling for Bulk Packs: Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from other ingredients, because the aroma carries. Warm conditions can soften the crystals into lumps.
