Finnish licorice, particularly salty licorice (salmiakki), has a rich and unique history that reflects Finnish taste preferences and cultural traditions. The distinctive salty flavor comes from ammonium chloride (salmiak), which is added to the licorice mixture. Finnish licorice brands like Halva, Panda, Fazer and Kouvolan Lakritsi have become household names, producing a wide range of licorice products that cater to diverse tastes.
