Description
This caramelized white chocolate bar features raw Persian licorice and crisp Icelandic sea salt. It offers a balanced alternative to mass-market candy by combining local flavor traditions with meticulous craft production.
Craft & Origin
Omnom produces this bar at their small-batch facility in Reykjavík, Iceland. The process begins by baking Icelandic milk powder until it darkens and caramelizes, creating a flavor profile reminiscent of dulce de leche. This caramelized dairy base is refined with organic cane sugar and cocoa butter before being seasoned with raw Persian licorice root and salmiak. The finished bars are then sprinkled with flaky sea salt harvested from the Westfjords of Iceland by Saltverk, a traditional sustainable salt producer.
Flavor & Texture
Notes of salted licorice and rich, buttery caramel. The texture is velvety and smooth with a light crystalline crunch from the sea salt.
How to Use
Enjoy alongside an herbaceous spirit like gin or amaro, or break into small pieces as a distinctive palate cleanser after dinner.
Why We Like It
A definitive showcase of the traditional Icelandic affinity for mixing chocolate and salty licorice, elevated through single-source Nordic ingredients and proper confectionery technique.
