Finland is known for licorice, and Halva is known as one of Finland's best licorice makers. Established in 1931, Halva creates this sweet, soft, fat-free black licorice using only the finest ingredients available: referred to in Finland as "Black Gold." This makes a great stocking stuffer for a fan of Finnish licorice, and an authentic treat for yourself, too.
Like the licorice I grew up eating in Finland--the BEST! My husband is addicted also.

This is nice licorice, just be careful if you are gluten-free--it does have wheat in it!

Excellent black licorice
Pros
One of the best I have ever had. Reminds me of the old Switzers black licorice of the 1970’s and 80’s. None of that artificial anise like taste and not overly sweet.

It's so hard to find licorice without gelatin in it--even the candy store nearby only carries one or two types. Note to vegans, this has beeswax in it, but as I'm just a vegetarian, bees are cool. Usually I have easier access to Swedish licorice, but I think this one's a new favorite!

Really good! For anyone doubting that they like Black Licorice: just try some real black licorice from Finland. Some people still won't like it (which I will never be able to understand) but I have had people try real black licorice who said they hate the flavor and they end up enjoying it.

This is great licorice! I savor every second of flavor! My wife and I indulge ourselves with one piece after dinner each night. One the other hand, I had some sent to my brother and his wife, and they finished a bag in two evenings! It's truly that great! I have been known to sneak an piece too.
Oh yes, this will be a regular reorder for some time to come!
By Kate

Tasted like memories of favorite licorice pipes from childhood.
August 17, 2020
Arrived in time frame expected. Packaging in perfect condition. Tastes like my expectation of licorice - full bodied, deep + not sweet. Texture soft, but not excessively sticky chewy. Exactly what I wanted. Made a second order to get more plus have enough to send to a friend who is also a major licorice fan. Will likely order more soon.

The Halva black licorice has become my new favorite. The flavor is smooth but still intense enough to let you know it is a real licorice. The Finns know licorice! The body is firm, but very chewable. Definitely a great choice if you like real black licorice.
