Nordthy Kongen af Danmark hard candy

Kongen af Danmark (King of Denmark) is a traditional Danish hard candy known for its distinctive aniseed flavor and deep red color. Originally named after King Christian V, it has been a staple of Danish confectionery heritage for centuries. This specific version is produced and marketed by Nordthy, a family-owned Danish enterprise founded in 1966.

Nordthy remains a locally owned business headquartered in Østerild, Denmark. While the company sources some raw materials internationally, the branding and production of their classic 'bolcher' (hard candies) are deeply rooted in Danish traditions. The brand has grown from a small wholesale operation into one of Denmark's most recognizable names in snacks and sweets.
