Pectorals

Pectoral drops are brown hard gums with a lightly medicinal, sweet flavour, in lozenge and globe shapes. These are sweets with a history: they were once taken down into the mines, where they were meant to soothe the throat in the dusty air. That functional origin explains the herbal, almost apothecary-like taste, clearly different from the fruit and mint sweets in our range. The firm gum dissolves slowly, so the effect lasts. For anyone wanting to know traditional Belgian sweet culture, this is one of the most telling products.
