LAKRIDS BY BÜLOW - 1 - Black Licorice - Sweet - 5.3 oz - Vegan Gourmet Licorice from Scandinavia - Gluten Free & Gelatine Free - Swedish Candy Alternative

I’ve developed a gluten intolerance. Unfortunately, most licorice (my favorite sweet) contains wheat and is off the list of foods I can eat. So I was delighted to find Lakrids. Their soft licorice is the best I’ve had, is gluten free, and comes in four flavors - sweet, salty, red, and habanero (my new favorite). It is a bit pricey, but worth it.

I absolutely love black licorice. Being American, unfortunately, quality black licorice is non-existent. Any time I travel to Europe, I try to load up on as much as I can to bring back home (often trying to catch a layover in Amsterdam) hoping it will not harden before my next trip. Finding Lakrids by Bulow is a godsend. I just received it today and had to sample one. Delicious! Just what I look for in black licorice. This is truly a gourmet candy, as I can taste the quality of the ingredients, with the slightly cooling, slightly sweet, slightly bitter, herbal tingle that pleasantly coats the throat and reminds me of being warm and cozy on a harsh winter day or getting a loving hug from grandma wishing sweet dreams before falling asleep. Not that I am Gluten intolerant or vegan, but I am impressed with the soft gel-like consistency which the food texture monitor in my brain just loves (all without gelatin)! Overall, this has been added to my subscribe and save, and to me, the price is well worth it. I will be enjoying one after dinner from now on. My partner, who does not like black licorice also enjoyed the natural clean taste and is also excited to make this treat an after-dinner indulgence.

Overpriced, but good. About a dozen and a half pieces. Not hard, easy to chew. Very tasty without being overbearing.

Five star taste but 4 star value-- Just a tiny 5 oz. jar with a few delicious black licorice pieces. Now, unavailable for purchase!

They are gluten free. Don't leave sticky residue on your teeth when you're done, which is a plus. I like them better than the salty or spicy version, but those are good as well, if you have a taste for genuine licorice.

When I first opened the can I was at first surprised that there was no safety seal...maybe because it's an overseas product originally. I'm not sure. The other version of this company's product had a seal, but it was loose. The smell from the can was not immediately appealing, perhaps from the heat of sitting in a box on my front porch for a while. After it aired out and I threw caution to the wind to try the unsealed package I was unpleasantly surprised at the taste. It says sweet right on the can, but the taste is actually slightly bitter and slightly salty. Perhaps again that may be a difference in taste from overseas to America (land of sugar and obesity). I did become accustomed to the taste and are the entire container in 2-3 days, however this is not a product I'd buy again. Thus far my favorite is Panda All Natural Licorice Chews and you can get a lot more for your money right here on Amazon. The company sells them in a 4 pack (800g total) for $16.84. So even if I felt like acclimating my taste buds to this variety there is a tastier and less expensive option available. If you don't like sweet, but also don't want a straight-up salted liquorice then this may actually be a great option for you. Afterall, it is not a bad product, just a different product from what I'm accustomed to. Except for the lack of a safety seal on the container, and the floppy loose one on the coffee chocolate variety that I also purchased. That's just a poor quality control situation.

Beautifully fresh texture and vibrant flavor. Perfect amount of sweetness. I am so pleased with this product. I am considering trying some of the other flavors. The bonus for me is that it is gluten-free. I was looking for that because I have a gluten intolerance. I especially enjoy a couple of these candies right before I brush my teeth and get ready for my nighttime routine. I don’t indulge in a lot of candy typically but I was craving licorice and I am so grateful that I found this company. If you like, licorice, I highly suggest these.

I recently gifted my grandmother a jar of Lakrids black licorice in two flavors, salty and sweet. While the salty version was a bit too intense for her taste, and nearly turned her stomach, but she absolutely loved the sweet variety! It quickly became a favorite, so much so that I purchased a second jar to replace the salty one. I can confidently say that Lakrids is definitely worth the price. I originally found this brand in a boutique, and I’m thrilled to now be able to conveniently order it whenever I want. I'll definitely be reordering in the future, highly recommend!

Gluten free licquorice - an absolute treat! No compromise on taste or texture, just so delighted to find a great GF version. The only down side is that it’s too moreish and difficult not to scoff the lot!

OMG I’m in heaven!!!! Being a coeliac that loves liquorice is crap most liquorice contains wheat so I’ve not had my fave treat since 2007 then I find this!!’ It’s expensive and definitely a treat but it is so worth it. I’d only wish I could afford a kilo

Lovely smooth rich fresh tasting liquorice . I love these just as much as the chocolate covered Lakrids .

Absolutely delicious! Perfect chew, not too sweet.

Soooo good, I'd lost hope of getting gf liquice, until kallmekris had these on her YouTube video, I looked straight away and am so happy I did. It's a small tub, but you only need one or two pieces at a time.
