The Licorice Guide

Scandinavian licorice isn't American licorice.

Most American licorice is essentially flavored anise candy. Swedish licorice contains real licorice root — and often, salt. A lot of salt. The result is more savory, more complex, and far more polarizing. Here's how to find your level.

1

Sweet

Raspberry-leaning licorice. No salt. A gateway for skeptics.

Try: Raspberry Licorice Boats

2

Mild

Soft black licorice, lightly aromatic, no salt. Familiar to American palates.

Try: Classic Soft Licorice

3

Classic

The Swedish standard. Sweet and salty in balance — the taste most Swedes grew up on.

Try: BUBS Raspberry/Licorice Skull

4

Salty

Real Scandinavian saltiness. Ammonium chloride is whispering. Bracing.

Try: Salty Licorice Coins

5

Salmiak

Full salmiak — ammonium chloride at full volume. Beloved in Sweden, terrifying elsewhere.

Try: Djungelvrål
