How to use Licorice Salt: the Nordic sweet and salty

Licorice Salt is our flaky sea salt with natural licorice root. Sweet and salty licorice is a Nordic favorite, and this is the salt people are most surprised to love.

What it tastes like

Toasty and nutty at first, then a tangy licorice note on the tongue. A little salty, a little sweet.

How to use it

  • Dark chocolate, chocolate mousse and tarts
  • Caramel and ice cream
  • Popcorn
  • Duck and pork
  • Beets and roasted roots
  • An espresso martini

How it is made

Every Saltverk salt starts with Arctic seawater from the Westfjords of Iceland, evaporated with 100% geothermal energy and lifted out by hand. Flavored salts hold their best flavor for about five years. No anti-caking agents, no additives, and every batch is third-party tested for heavy metals.
