Salty Licorice & Salmiak

Discover the bold, sophisticated world of Swedish Licorice (Lakrits). This isn't the waxy black licorice you might be used to. This is premium, potent, and often flavored with Salmiak (ammonium chloride) for that signature Nordic salty kick.

What is Salmiak?

Salmiak is the secret ingredient that makes Nordic licorice unique. It provides a savory, salty, slightly stinging sensation that enhances the depth of the licorice root. It's a flavor profile that, once acquired, becomes an obsession.

Sweet vs. Salty Licorice

We carry both! Sötlakrits (sweet licorice) is mild, earthy, and delicious. Saltlakrits (salty licorice) ranges from a mild tingle to an intense explosion of flavor. If you're a beginner, look for raspberry-licorice combinations like the famous Hallon/Lakrits Skulls.

Is salty licorice safe to eat?

Yes, when enjoyed in moderation! Salmiak licorice is a beloved treat across Scandinavia. However, individuals with high blood pressure should consume black licorice responsibly due to the natural glycyrrhizin content.
