Malaco Skumkantareller

Product and Brand Overview

Malaco Skumkantareller are strawberry‑flavored foam candies shaped like small chanterelle mushrooms. They are sold under the Malaco brand and commonly marketed as a soft, airy marshmallow/foam candy used in pick‑and‑mix and bagged confectionery assortments.

Origin and Manufacturing

The Malaco brand traces back to Malmö Lakrits Compani (Malaco) founded in the 1930s in Sweden. Today the product is manufactured and distributed by Cloetta (through Cloetta Sverige AB) with primary production in Sweden while Cloetta operates multiple factories across Europe, so some Malaco assortments may also be produced at other group facilities.

Ownership and Corporate Structure

Malaco is a long‑standing Swedish confectionery brand that is owned by Cloetta AB, a Swedish publicly listed confectionery company. Cloetta acquired the Leaf/Malaco legacy through corporate consolidation and now houses Malaco within its branded packaged products and pick & mix portfolio. Cloetta AB is headquartered in Sweden and manages local operations via Cloetta Sverige AB for the Swedish and Nordic markets.
