Fazer Skolekridt liquorice sweets

Fazer Skolekridt (translated as School Chalk) is an iconic confectionery product produced by the Finnish company Fazer. These candies consist of a chewy salmiak (salty liquorice) center encased in a hard, white menthol-flavored sugar shell, resembling the pieces of chalk once used in classrooms. The brand has a deep-seated heritage in Northern Europe, particularly in Denmark and Finland.

Manufacturing primarily takes place in Finland at Fazer's specialized candy factories. The Fazer Group remains a family-owned enterprise, with their headquarters situated in Helsinki, Finland. Since its founding in the late 19th century, Fazer has maintained independence and is one of the largest food companies in the Nordic region, overseeing its own production from original recipes.
