Lakrisal Salty Liquorice Pastilles

Lakrisal is a distinctive salty liquorice pastille originating from Sweden, produced by the company Malaco. Unlike most salty liquorice candies, Lakrisal is made almost entirely of sugar, liquorice extract, and ammonium chloride, without the inclusion of starch or gum arabic. This composition results in a powdery texture, with the pastilles being disk-shaped, approximately 18mm in diameter and 4mm thick. The candies are typically sold in tubes containing about 20 pastilles each. Over time, Lakrisal has been produced in various countries, including the Netherlands, where it is currently manufactured. The brand is owned by Cloetta, a prominent confectionery company headquartered in Sweden. Cloetta is renowned for its diverse range of confectionery products and has a significant presence in the Nordic region. The brand does not have a local subsidiary; therefore, there is no subsidiary information available.
