Lakrids by Bulow Sweet Licorice
Johan Bülow is on a mission to share with the world Scandinavia's most popular and polarizing treat: licorice. Lakrids by Bülow uses traditional black licorice—prepared using centuries-old methods—to make this small-batch candy. Licorice-lovers will appreciate the natural sweetness and earthy, herbal depth of these sweets, which don't taste like artificial or perfumey like some varieties we've tried. And the candies have a fudgy, toothsome quality rather than a gritty or grainy texture.
Lakrids by Bulow Chocolate Coated Licorice
Johan Bülow is on a mission to share with the world Scandinavia's most popular and polarizing treat: black licorice. Lakrids by Bülow uses traditional black licorice—prepared using centuries-old methods—to make small-batch candies with flavors that are more familiar to international consumers. These chocolate-covered licorice balls have a fudgy, toothsome quality that is much more satisfying than the gritty or grainy texture you'll find with other brands. The company's spherical Chocolate-Coated Licorice uses an especially creamy variety of milk chocolate that tempers licorice's bitter notes, for a balanced, aromatic candy. You don't have to be a licorice aficionado to fall for these treats: Even Milk Street staff members who claim to hate licorice were surprised by how much they loved Lakrids by Bülow.
