Viking Sweets

Description of the Product

Step into the world of the Vikings with these premium sweets. Mjölnir-shaped, they combine mythical saga and pure Scandinavian flavors. It’s a taste sensation for all your senses!

The flavors are inspired by the Nordic nature and the shape originates from an actual find. The Mjölnir hammer is based on a find in Denmark and dates back to the 900s. The original hammer was however cast in bronze, not candy. The sweets are manufactured in Sweden with great care, and are vegan, gluten free and free of palm oil. These soft and chewy sweet are available in six flavors.

Freya’s Elderflowers

With its floral taste, elderflower brings to mind summer and sun. The sweetness of the elderflower is mixed with a little lemon, which gives a well-balanced combination of sweetness and sourness. Elderflower has been cultivated since the Viking Age and the tree was considered sacred as it was believed that the goddess Freya lived in one.

Ingredients: sugar, invert sugar syrup, water, starch, glucose syrup, citric acid, natural aroma, food color (curcumin), coconut oil, glazing agent (carnauba wax)

Salty Licorice

A powerful salty licorice that tickles the taste buds!

Licorice has been used as a medicinal plant for thousands of years and although it was not until the Middle Ages that it found its way up north, both fennel and anise were common flavoring agents in food and drinks in the Viking Age. Finns, Swedes, and other Nordics now consume kilos of the black stuff per year per person, both sweet and salty.

Ingredients: sugar, invert sugar syrup, water, glucose syrup, starch, aroma incl. salmiac, licorice, modified starch, food color (vegetable carbon), coconut oil, glazing agent (carnauba wax)

Raspberry Mjölnir

The “Raspberry Mjölnir” has a clear taste of raspberries. Raspberries grow wild throughout the Nordic countries and the Vikings liked to flavor their mead with these tasty berries. Combines very well with the ”Salty licorice Mjölnir”.

Ingredients: sugar, invert sugar syrup, water, starch, glucose syrup, citric acid, aroma, concentrate of black carrots, coconut oil, glazing agent (carnauba wax)

Licorice & Juniper

A salty licorice with a note of juniper that lifts the licorice, leaving a pleasant lingering aftertaste. Juniper berries have been used at least since the Egyptian times, either for its medicinal properties, or as a culinary ingredient. During the Viking Age it was used to flavor mead.  Nowadays juniper is still used to flavor alcohol, mainly gin, which is why this juniper licorice has a taste that many adults might find familiar.

Salty licorice & viola

Salty licorice and viola meet, and the contrast between the floral sweetness of the viola and the saltiness of the licorice creates a beautiful harmony. Viola have been part of the Nordic flora since ancient times and is one of the first signs of spring. Even though the Vikings did not have viola in their food and drinks, they were all around them in nature.
