Lakrids by Johan Bülow

Licorice is the new black - or actually it is black and very tasty if you ask any dane and in the past few years licorice has become super trendy not just in a traditionally way but also in a great variety of food and drinks. Anyone Danish saying they do not like licorice - will almost be kicked out of Denmark for saying that. Licorice is the most popular type of candy eaten by all Danes. So if you are born in Denmark you should love and live for it.

Ever since Johan Bülov introduced his trendy licorice it has been sold worldwide to lovers of the "black gold". There is a great variety in tastes and flavors from ‘Lakrids’. Every season like Valentines, Christmas, New Years and Easter – you will find a new limited edition flavor in a special box designed for the occasion. The chocolate covered liquorish balls are absolutely delicious and one of my favorites to serve my guests around Christmas. But the classic flavor is my everyday flavour forever.
