Finnish Sweets & Candy

Chocolate & Licorice: A Perfect Balance

Finland is famous for its high-quality chocolate, often made with rich milk and smooth textures. Finnish licorice, on the other hand, is known for its bold, salty flavours, making it a favourite among those who enjoy a more intense candy experience.

Popular Finnish treats include:

• Salmiakki (Salty Licorice) – A uniquely Finnish candy with a strong, salty-sweet flavour.

• Milk & Dark Chocolate – Smooth and creamy, often featuring Nordic flavours like berries or caramel.

• Licorice & Chocolate Combinations – A delicious mix of rich chocolate and chewy licorice.

Pearl Sugar: The Secret to Finnish Baking

Pearl sugar is a coarse, crunchy sugar used in traditional Finnish baking, adding a sweet, decorative touch to pastries like pulla (Finnish cardamom bread) and cinnamon rolls.

Finnish Dry Breads & Coffee

Crispbreads & Rye Breads

Finnish dry breads are a staple of Nordic cuisine, offering a hearty, crunchy texture that pairs perfectly with butter, cheese, or smoked fish. Rye-based crispbreads are especially popular, known for their nutty, slightly tangy flavour.

Strong Finnish Coffee

Finland has one of the highest coffee consumption rates in the world, and Finnish coffee is typically light-roasted, smooth, and strong. It’s enjoyed throughout the day, often paired with a sweet pastry or a slice of crispbread.

Finnish Mustard: A Bold Condiment

Finnish mustard is smooth, slightly sweet, and full of rich, tangy flavour. It’s a must-have for traditional Finnish dishes like grilled sausages (makkara) and pairs well with sandwiches, meats, and cheeses.
