Do You Love Them?
Parma violets are tiny little lilac sweets in a roll and, quite frankly, they have the unmistakeable taste of air freshener!! .... or as it says on the packet delicately perfumed violet sweets.
You either love them or hate them, there's no in between. Mrs O'Malley has discovered that moths hate them so she always keeps an open packet in her hoisery drawer!
Parma Violets are violet flavoured sweets manufactured by Derbyshire based Swizzels Matlow; they are a kind of hard sweet, similar in shape and consistency to the Refreshers and Love Hearts products from the same company, but without the fizziness generated from the tartaric acid or malic acid reaction with a carbonate that those sweets possess.
Parma Violets are sold in two forms: the traditional small size, slightly smaller than a five pence piece, and the giant size, around the size of a penny. They are in tablet form, the smaller ones being regular cylindrical tablets and the larger ones having a bowl-shape in the middle. A BIG FAN??? - try a packet of our GIANT Parma Violets also listed in this category.
