Grether’s Pastilles were first created over 150 years ago in London under the name Allen & Hanbury Ltd., quickly gaining popularity for their intense fruity flavor, unique soft and dissolving texture, and ability to soothe sore throats and strained voices. Word of the pastilles reached all over Europe – bringing them to their current home in Switzerland, where they became what are known today as Grether’s Pastilles. While the name has changed, the formula has not. To this day, the pastilles are fashioned with the same original recipe and attention to detail that was used in 1850.Vegetable glycerine alleviates mouth dryness and creates a protective film around vocal cords. Blackcurrant is harvested during its peak season for immune boosting Vitamin C, and gives the pastilles their dark color and intense berry flavor. Combined with other thoughtfully and purposefully sourced ingredients, every single pastille is aged for 15 weeks to develop its soothing effects and unmistakable taste.Loved by singers, performers, and speakers all over the world to prevent and soothe strained vocal cords – enjoy a Grether’s Pastille at the first sign of a sore throat or regularly to keep your voice in optimal condition.
