Malaco Stjerner

Malaco Stjerner is a popular liquorice-based confectionery product, often featuring toffee or caramel flavors, known for its iconic star-shaped tube format. The brand Malaco originated in Sweden in 1934, originally as part of Malmö Lakrits Compani. Over the decades, it has become one of the most recognized candy brands in the Nordic region.

Today, the brand is owned by Cloetta, a leading Swedish confectionery company. While the brand has deep Swedish roots, manufacturing for many Malaco products, including Stjerner, is carried out in modern production facilities across Europe, primarily in Slovakia and the Netherlands, to serve the international Baltic and Scandinavian markets. Cloetta maintains strict quality control over these heritage brands to ensure the traditional taste profiles remain consistent.
