Evers Salmiak Lakrids Mix is a bold confection that brings the classic Scandinavian salty-licorice experience to lovers of intense sweets. This mix centers on the distinctive salmiak character — a saline, mineral-edged note that lifts the deep licorice root and anise aromas. The result is a lively interplay of salty and sweet that commands attention from the first bite.
Visually, expect glossy, dark-black candies that read unmistakably as licorice. The mix format suggests a variety of textures and shapes, offering a small adventure in every handful. Textural contrast is part of the appeal: firm, hard candies alongside pieces with more concentrated flavour so each piece tells its own story.
Aromatically the blend leans toward roasted, earthy liquorice and a sharp, saline top-note. The salmiak element contributes a tangy, almost mineral scent that sets these sweets apart from standard licorice confections. Beneath that bright saltiness there is a warm, slightly sweet anise backbone that balances the overall profile.
This is confectionery for people who appreciate character. The taste is assertive rather than subtle, with an emphasis on contrast — sweet syrupy licorice softened by a persistent salty tang and a long, slightly drying finish.
Flavor and texture profile
On the palate, the salmiak influence is immediate: a concentrated saline burst that sharpens the licorice root and anise notes.
The sweetness frames the salt rather than overwhelming it, creating a balanced back-and-forth that keeps each bite interesting.
Textures vary across the mix, but the common experience is of a firm bite that rewards slow tasting, allowing the layered flavours to open gradually.
The finish tends to be lingering and slightly mineral, leaving a clean, bracing aftertaste that highlights the salty component.
How to enjoy and pair
Pair these salty licorice candies with robust beverages that can stand up to intense flavours — strong black coffee or an espresso provides a bitter counterpoint that complements the sweet-and-salty interplay.
For a contrasting sweet pairing, try a square of high-percentage dark chocolate. The bitter cocoa tones accentuate the anise and licorice root while softening the salt edge.
In desserts, use pieces as a garnish for vanilla ice cream or crème brûlée to introduce a smoky-salty accent that cuts through creamy sweetness.
For cheese pairings, choose firmer, savory options with a touch of fat — their creaminess rounds the salmiak and highlights the confection’s complexity without masking its personality.
