Franssons Polkagris

Franssons Polkagris is a traditional Swedish confectionery known for its classic peppermint flavor and distinctive red-and-white stripes. The brand originates from Gränna, Sweden, a town world-famous for the invention and production of polkagrisar since the mid-19th century.

The production of Franssons Polkagris follows time-honored methods where the sugar dough is boiled, pulled, and twisted by hand to achieve the perfect texture and appearance. This dedication to craftsmanship ensures that the candy maintains the authentic Swedish heritage associated with the Gränna region.

Today, the brand is owned and operated by Franssons Konfektyrer, a company that remains deeply rooted in its Swedish origins. As a family-oriented business, it focuses on preserving the traditional recipes while distributing these iconic sweets to both local and international markets, representing a staple of Scandinavian candy culture.
