WHY WE LOVE IT

There’s a beautiful clarity to these truffles — a balance of cool, bright English peppermint and smooth, indulgent chocolate. The peppermint is grown on Summerdown’s own Hampshire estate, where they’ve revived the heritage Black Mitcham variety and distilled it with exceptional care. The result is a flavour that’s crisp without being sharp, refreshing yet still wonderfully comforting.

Each truffle has that luxurious melt you only get from thoughtful craftsmanship: a soft milk-chocolate centre wrapped in rich dark chocolate and lightly dusted for a final elegant touch. It’s a small detail, but it makes every bite feel considered.

Across our Signature, Classic, and Celebration boxes, they add a refreshing counterpoint that works beautifully alongside the richer flavours.

These Peppermint Truffles are the perfect expression of what makes Summerdown so special — cool, clean peppermint grown and distilled on their Hampshire farm, wrapped in smooth, rich dark chocolate.

Summerdown are one of the only producers in Britain to grow Black Mitcham peppermint, a heritage variety they revived from near-extinction. It’s harvested, distilled, and aged for two years on their estate to develop its mellow, rounded flavour — fresh but never harsh.

Those essential oils are then blended into a luxuriously creamy fondant and enrobed in crisp dark chocolate to create a truffle that’s bright, elegant, and deeply satisfying. Think after-dinner mint, but elevated — refined, balanced, and unmistakably British.

Perfect for gifting, sharing, or keeping quietly to yourself, these truffles feel like a little moment of calm and luxury in every bite.

At Summerdown, every mint leaf tells a story.

For over three decades, the family-run estate in Hampshire has been quietly perfecting the art of English peppermint — growing, harvesting, and distilling their own Black Mitcham mint to create a uniquely bright, cooling flavour.

The result is a collection that celebrates true field-to-flavour craft: buttery mint creams, smooth dark chocolate, and aromatic teas, all made using mint oil distilled on-site within hours of harvest. The flavour is fresh yet mellow, rich yet pure — unmistakably Summerdown.

Beautifully packaged and naturally refined, this is British chocolate and confectionery at its best: elegant, ethical, and effortlessly giftable.
