Fazer Salta Katten licorice candy

Salta Katten is a classic brand of salty licorice (salmiak) candy that carries a long heritage in the Nordic region. Its name, which translates to 'The Salty Cat,' refers to the characteristic cat shape of the pastilles. The product is renowned for its smooth, salty flavor profile that has been a favorite among licorice enthusiasts for generations.

Originally launched by the Swedish company Mazetti in 1952, the brand became part of the Fazer family when Fazer acquired Mazetti in 1975. Today, the production is primarily based in Finland, where Fazer maintains its confectionery expertise. Fazer remains an independent, family-owned company, ensuring that the legacy of Salta Katten continues under stable, original Nordic ownership.
