Lakrids liquorice comes all the way from one of the finest liquorice producers in Denmark, the home of liquorice. And their advent calendar is the smartest you'll see this year.
Every year these are so popular that they sell out well before Christmas!
Behind every window are two delicious liquorice treats – and some unique flavour combinations. You’ll discover chocolate, mint, blackcurrant and other flavours expertly married with the finest liquorice.
In 2007, Lakrids started as the dream of Johan Bülow, who didn’t understand why liquorice was so rarely blended with other flavours. Nor why liquorice had traditionally been made using wheat flour, instead of a gluten free flour. It turns out that both are very difficult!
But with much trial and error, Johan Bülow started to produce some of the finest liquorice in the world. Lakrids liquorice is only made with gluten free rice flour, and he treats liquorice as a spice – one which enhances and perfectly complements other flavours.
