Old-Fashioned Licorice | Gammeldags Lakkrís, Sambó · 350g

Gammeldags means old-fashioned. The recipe hasn't been updated because it doesn't need to be.

Soft black licorice, faintly salted, made in Iceland by Sambó to a recipe old enough that the name is still in Danish. No chocolate, no coating, no filling: this is licorice for people who came looking for licorice. It sits exactly between the unsalted stuff sold abroad and the double-salt Nordic extremes, which is why it's the bag that converts visitors and then gets reordered from another continent for years afterwards. The 350g bag is not excessive. It's realistic.

• Soft old-fashioned black licorice with a light salt edge, nothing added
• The middle ground between bland Western licorice and Nordic double-salt
• Made in Iceland by Sambó · 350g bag, shelf stable
