Swedish Licorice
Swedish Licorice: Salt Meets Sweet
Sweden treats licorice — lakrits — as a serious craft, and its trademark is salt. From gentle sweet pieces to bracing saltlakrits and the famously fierce salty varieties, Swedish licorice is having a real moment in the US. We import it direct, shipped from our New Jersey warehouse.

Zurück zur StartseiteFrequently Asked Questions
Is Swedish Fish licorice?
No — despite the name association, Swedish Fish are a chewy fruit candy with no licorice in them. Actual Swedish licorice (lakrits) is a separate, much larger category in Sweden, and most of it is salty rather than sweet.
What is saltlakrits?
Saltlakrits is salty Swedish licorice, made with ammonium chloride (salmiak) for a sharp, savoury edge instead of sugar-forward sweetness. It's the default style in Sweden and ranges from mildly salty to seriously intense.
Why is Swedish candy so popular right now?
A viral US trend around Scandinavian "gourmet" candy pushed Swedish brands into the mainstream, and licorice rode that wave — the salty, fruit-paired styles are exactly what the trend put a spotlight on.
