LAKRIDS BY BÜLOWA - The Original - 10.4 oz - Chocolate Coated Gourmet Licorice - Authentic Scandinavian Candy Produced in Denmark

Lakrids are dreamy. A superior confection. The black licorice is delicious and has a perfect texture chewy with a bit of bite. (They call it “sweet” licorice because in many parts of Europe, as in Denmark, licorice can typically be salted. I find salted licorice revolting. The way licorice typically comes in Italy on the other hand is laced with mint.) Lakrids are coated in a smooth dreamy delicious chocolate wrapped in a thin delicate coating; not as thick or indelicate as that on M&Ms but its own “Lakrid” candy coating. It’s this candy coating which contains the varied flavors such as sour apple, strawberry, pink, pineapple, passionfruit, mango, etc. - . I wish they weren’t so delicious because I wouldn’t want them as often. The price is high of course they’re imported…truly a delicacy from Denmark. The company, founded in 2007 by Johan Bülow, specializes in creating luxury, gourmet licorice and chocolate (check their website ). Many flavors strawberry white chocolate and licorice, lemon, peach, mango, chocolate toffee crunch, dark and light milk, chocolate, and all kinds of combos… and including seasonal flavors. Pictured is the small jar of Passionfruit. The aroma alone when lift the paper seal is dreamy.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I like that type of licorice. And it's one of the few gluten free licorice available.

My first exposure to Lakrids by Bülow liquorice was when I visited Denmark with my Danish mother. We were at the airport and Lakrids had a little stand with samples of their various flavors. I immediately gravitated to the passion fruit because hey, it’s passion fruit and their liquorice was utterly delicious. I bought the large jar and I found it incredibly difficult to eat just 1 or 2 pieces of candy. The flavor of this liquorice is utter worldly.. If there was a numerical rating for candies this candy would receive the highest mark that is possible. Trust me when I say that this liquorice is a work of art. The different flavors of Lakrids that I have tried all have a depth of flavor that you do not find here in the states. I have tried 5 or 6 different flavors and each one has been incredible. You seriously shouldn’t hesitate in buying their candy, it is quite wonderful.

Absolutely delicious 😋

D E L I C I O U S!!!

I am sure other people enjoyed this but not my cup of tea…

The licorice is hard like a stone. It is impossible to chew it. I bought 2 of these to give as a gift. I was so embarrassed, when my friend told me they could not be eaten.

Do look at the weight. I didn't, and was surprised at the small container for the price. It was delicious. A little different-I think- because the scandinavian licorice contains 'salmiak.'
