Salted licorice is salmiak if you grew up in the Nordics. It’s about as divisive as candy gets. That sharp salty ammonium bite has people chasing it for life. Others wonder how anyone calls it food. For a shop that split is useful. The fans are loyal and loud, and most places can’t give them the real thing. We sell authentic Scandinavian salty licorice by the case.
The range leans Nordic. Fazer from Finland makes the salty licorice Kitten. Bubs Godis from Sweden has a whole family of salmiak, including raspberry-and-salty-licorice skulls and mini raspberry salty skulls. Toms from Denmark does Pinguine salty licorice pastilles. Dunderklubba puts a salty licorice center in its Swedish lollipops. Bilar makes Swedish salty licorice marshmallows. We also have salty hard licorice tires from Denmark. From Italy there’s a Mangini Gessetti salmiak-filled licorice.
Why salted licorice earns shelf space
Fans are the business case. Salmiak lovers might be of Scandinavian or Dutch heritage. Some are German. Others are just adventurous candy hunters. They’ll travel and pay to find it, and they remember who stocked it. Few stores carry authentic salty licorice, so you become the place people come for it. It makes a good talking point on the shelf too. First-timers treat it like a dare, and that gets them to try a bag.
Cases and shipping
Salted licorice sells wholesale by the case. You won’t find single retail units. Most cases land between 5 and 10 kilograms depending on the maker and format. Prices are per case in US dollars. We ship throughout the United States. If you’re a business buyer, you can open a wholesale account and get wholesale pricing once approved. For larger volumes, ask us for a quote.
Storage is easy. The hard items need to stay dry. That covers the pastilles and the tires. The lollipops too. Humidity softens them and makes the salmiak coating tacky. Marshmallows like a cool, dry spot so the texture holds. Heat isn’t the worry it is with chocolate. Once it’s on the shelf, salty licorice takes little looking after.
Building a salmiak section
Give fans range. We’d start with something recognizable and Nordic, like the Fazer Kitten or a Bubs Godis skull. Then vary the shapes. The Toms Pinguine pastilles and the Dunderklubba lollipops make a good pair. The salty hard tires add another texture. That lets a devoted customer fill a bag with different things. Bilar marshmallows are the softer option. The Bubs raspberry-and-salty-licorice skulls suit anyone who wants fruit against the salt. Label the section clearly so newcomers know what they’re getting into.
Salted licorice sits inside our wider wholesale licorice range, and it shares a Nordic customer base with the rest of our Scandinavian candy. The category ties so closely to one region that the Sweden wholesale candy page is worth a look. You’ll see the full Swedish lineup there, salmiak and otherwise.

Becoming the salmiak destination
Being one of the few stockists is the whole advantage here. Salmiak fans will go out of their way to find authentic product. They’ll pay for it too, since almost nobody carries it. A shop that does becomes the place to go. Those customers buy deep and come back. A well-marked section helps.
The devotees don’t want one token bag. They want a basket of different shapes and intensities. The Fazer Kitten and the Bubs Godis skulls cover the familiar end. Pastilles and lollipops add format variety, and the Bilar marshmallows go soft. The deeper your selection gets, the more one salmiak lover spends per visit.
Don’t forget the curious first-timer. Salmiak’s reputation is a draw by itself. A clear label lets a newcomer take the dare, and sometimes they turn into a new devotee. A small sign saying what salty licorice is can help them commit.
