Salted licorice is a taste you never forget. You either love it straight away, or it grows on you over the years. But one thing is certain: in Sweden, salted licorice has a special place on the candy shelf – and in many hearts.
What is salt liquorice?
Salted licorice differs from regular sweet licorice in that it contains ammonium chloride – also known as ammonium chloride. This gives it the characteristic salty, almost medicinal taste that many associate with childhood, the corner kiosk and that first taste of adulthood.
Salted liquorice comes in many varieties: hard, soft, extra strong or mild and round. At Finsk Lakrits we focus on balance – liquorice that tastes great, but doesn't scare away.
Why is salted licorice so popular in Sweden?
There are theories that our love of salty liquorice is connected to the Nordic climate, our sense of taste and our habits around strong flavours. But we believe it's simpler than that: the taste is simply in the spinal cord for many of us.
Salty liquorice is also a taste memory. Many people associate it with special occasions – a Saturday treat bag, a trip to Finland, a childhood favorite. It is unexpected, but at the same time safe.
