the taste is the craft
We create handmade desserts, pastries, and confectionery in a small production kitchen in Gothenburg. Everything is handmade, in small batches, and with fresh ingredients, preferably local.
Everything we make should be a taste experience, and our guiding principles are taste, knowledge, and curiosity.
At our liquorice tastings, liquorice café, and other events, we share this philosophy and our knowledge. We want to challenge your taste buds, make you raise your eyebrows, and see the 'aha' light switch on in your eyes. The goal is to inspire you to create your own dishes in your kitchen.
Everything we do should be a taste experience, and to achieve this, we work in the following way.
craftsmanship and ingredients
Craftsmanship
We do everything by hand and production is small-scale. A person is present throughout the process and supervises every step. We use all our senses and control quality at several stages. In this way, there is an interaction between hand and mind. Knowledge is transformed into craftsmanship and vice versa.
Ingredients
We use basic ingredients such as butter, cream, eggs, wheat flour, and sugar, and flavour with genuine spices or other ingredients like fruit and berries. If we make a passionfruit toffee, we use 100 percent passionfruit. If we make a saffron biscotti, it tastes strongly of saffron.
sweet flavors
A small treat every day is essential – but it must be both amazingly delicious and a taste experience.
Caramel should be a unique taste experience that awakens curiosity. We use our knowledge of how flavors and ingredients are combined when we develop our products.
Desserts should be beautiful to look at, they should awaken all senses and be both exquisitely delicate and exciting to enjoy. That's how you become taste-satisfied. In our desserts, we strive for both balance and contrast. Between the traditional and the new. Between basic flavors and aromas. Sweet coexists with salty, sour with bitter, soft with crispy and crunchy. Swedish flavors meet influences from different parts of the world. Just as in imagination, there are no limits in our creation.
For us, sweet is the golden lining that enhances life, and we want to convey that to you. That is our taste philosophy.
SWEET AND SALTY, CREAMY AND CHEWY
This handmade sweet and salty cream fudge is our most popular product. It all started in a small kitchenette on Kungsholmen with an entrepreneur who loved salty licorice and discovered that it was fun to experiment with fudge recipes...
Ever since its launch in 2010, our award-winning salty licorice fudge has surprised many with its winning combination of cream fudge and salty licorice. It is sweet, salty, creamy, and has a unique flavor profile that can be likened to a three-stage rocket. When you taste the fudge, you first feel a salty sting, which transitions into creamy, rich fudge, which in turn finishes with the sweet licorice as an aftertaste.
The salmiak fudge is both fantastically delicious and a sweet taste experience that adds a touch of luxury to everyday life!
fresh toffee
We always ship freshly cooked fudge. The fudge is a perishable product that should be enjoyed within three weeks. We produce all our products to order. This is the foundation for operating a sustainable business in terms of quality, economy, and the environment. We cook small batches at a time, allowing us to closely monitor all steps in the process.
Our presence and sensory control of the process are essential for our ambition to achieve the highest quality. Waste can be minimized, and we essentially hold no inventory.
We also actively work to ensure nothing goes to waste. If there are edge pieces when we cut the fudge, we use them in our biscotti (with currants from the garden). If we've cooked the fudge too hard, we turn it into sprinkles for our own ice cream.
And if we still have anything left over, the neighbors will be happy.
Sweden's favourite liquorice
Voted Sweden's favorite liquorice three years in a row at the Liquorice Festival.
The Salmiak Licorice Caramel started as an experiment in 2010. Today, it is our calling card, our best-selling product, our public face, the caramel in white paper, or simply THE CARAMEL. The Salmiak Licorice Caramel has won the award for Sweden's favorite licorice three years in a row and the award for best Salmiakki in Finland. The award for Sweden's favorite licorice was voted for by the public at the Licorice Festival in 2013, 2014, and 2015.
