Licorice in Bag - Pingvin Tom Heksehyl Zout (Zoute Salmiak Staafjes/Salty Sticks Filled with Salmiak),10.6 oz

I've been wanting to try salmiak candy, but wanted to try a "good" one. I LIKE IT! Just the right soft, chewiness I was hoping for, and a pleasant mix of liquorice, an almost smoky caramel note, and of course, the saltiness. Being salmiak, there is also that pungency, but I personally don't find it heavy nor off-putting. Then again I like savory and earthy flavors so there's admittedly some bias. I'm gonna need a bigger bag!

Strangely, I actually like it. And I dislike black licorice. But this concoction is good. Close to a salted caramel with an end note of black licorice yet the salt balances it out.

I love good licorice. I like just about any licorice that is fresh and soft. But most of the stuff I find in the grocery store may be fresh and soft, but it is just wheat and sugar. Not good for me. I have tried a lot of different kinds of Licorice on line. Almost everything I have bought on line, would have been very good if it wasn't old stale and hard. This was the first licorice I have purchased on line that had good ingredients. It had real licorice in it and I don't think it had wheat. It was fresh and soft. I really liked the taste of this. It is a salted licorice, which I like. It had an unusual flavor besides the salt, that I really liked. It was very different than any licorice I have had. For now, it is my favorite licorice in the world. It is hard to compare because it is so different. But I love it and I will get more. It will be my new bad habit.

What can I say, I love this one. Its my 3rd order. Good quality, well sealed bag. YUMMMMM!!!

Bag arrived open. Product was fresh and soft. Taste is odd. Starts off tasting like licorice then I get a salty slightly chemical taste. Not bad but not what my tastes are used to. I gave up after about 10 pieces and threw them away. This taste is not worth getting used to.

This candy tastes really bad. I like licorice a lot and I know what it is supposed to taste like. It is difficult to describe the taste of this one but it is just plain BAD. It has a sour taste, even sort of fishy! I ordered two bags and they are both the same. I have bought several other kinds of licorice from Amazon and they have been fine but my advice is to stay away from this brand.

Texture was soft and chewy, the middle had a flavor that reminded me of molasses. The flavor of black licorice was subtle with a pleasant saltiness. I deduct points though because it had an aftertaste similar to windex. The astringent/ chemically taste went up my nose the way wasabi does :(
