Licorice has long been a flavor for the adventurous. I have always been a licorice aficionado. Here I have allowed the ripe and salty taste to marry with blueberries and apple. The result is a sweet-salty taste sensation, quite simply!
A licorice jam as a delicious, exciting dark salty candy. A full licorice flavor in this unusual licorice jam, balanced with a salty and slightly tart blueberry and apples. Great with aged hard cheeses.
Award-winning Great Taste Award 2019, Great Britain, 1 star.
Jury's reasoning: " A wonderfully original concept with several exciting combinations of flavors. A very exciting taste, almost like licorice school with fruit. There are blueberry, apple, salt and licorice - all flavors present and well balanced! A smooth consistency, like thick syrup . Delicious on creamy vanilla ice cream, goes well with apple pie. A brave and innovative idea, full of taste sensations. An exciting surprise!"
Goes well with Brie, Mozzarella, goat cheese, cheddar, parmesan. Try it on ice cream or apple pie, as a filling in cakes/cakes. Great with aged hard cheeses such as Parmesan and Cheddar. Perfect with a mature Brie or Camembert and some sparkling wine.

The word licorice comes from the Greek word 'glukurrhiza' which means sweet root. Not only does this magical plant have 50 times the natural sweetness of refined sugar without the calories, it is also an herb known for its soothing and calming properties. Growing in sandy soil, its creeping roots spread in all directions, drawing nutrients deep into the soil. It is traditionally known and used as medicine in Ayurveda for rejuvenation.
At Sörgården Måla, we only use licorice made from whole roots of certified organic licorice that meet the highest quality standards. Our licorice comes from Calabria in Italy, which helps ensure the sustainable use of our ingredients.
A bit like the effect of adding a pinch of salt to food to bring out the best flavors, licorice also makes a recipe more effective. Thanks to this unique quality, it is considered to increase the power of the synergy between different ingredients in a mixture and is used to harmonize different flavors.
