Licorice Candy FAQs
What is salmiak?+
Salmiak is salty licorice flavoured with ammonium chloride. It is a classic Nordic style with a sharper, saltier profile than sweet licorice. The intensity can be surprising if you are new to it, so start with a smaller portion before moving to stronger salty licorice.
What is the difference between sweet and salty licorice?+
Sweet licorice leans softer and more sugary, while salty licorice adds a mineral, savoury saltiness that becomes more noticeable as you chew. Salmiak is the best-known salty style. Trying both side by side is the easiest way to understand how different they taste.
I have never tried Swedish licorice. Where do I start?+
Start with a sweeter or fruit-paired licorice before moving toward stronger salty salmiak. Raspberry licorice is an approachable first step because the fruit flavour balances the darker licorice note. A small tasting portion makes it easier to learn what level you enjoy.
Is your licorice fresh?+
Yes. Licorice orders are packed to order in Ontario, then sealed and shipped rather than sitting in an open self-serve bin. Keeping the candy sealed and stored in a cool, dry place after delivery helps protect its texture and flavour.
Do you ship licorice across Canada?+
Yes. Zing Candy ships licorice from Ontario across Canada with tracking. Current delivery options and estimated timing depend on your address and carrier service, and the available choices are shown at checkout before you complete the order.
