Flavor Profile
Sal.mi.akki! Flavorah Salmiakki is the bold, slightly salty licorice beloved across the Nordic countries.
Compared with Flavorah Licorice, Salmiakki has more body, a sharper anise, and more blended vanilla and licorice, with a slightly salty edge and a really solid mouthfeel. It is not overly aggressive for a candied flavor.
Intensity is moderate. Let it rest so it reaches full development. Salmiakki pairs with vanilla, licorice, chocolate, and black currant. Start small and build.
Create Endless and Indelible Memories with Flavorah
All the flavors that we make at Flavorah are designed for mixing complex, layered recipes for products that may be consumed. Even though this Salmiakki flavor will stand alone with memorable and captivating notes, we believe you will enjoy it most when you blend it with other flavors. It is our mission to create concentrates and extracts that become a powerful tool of flavor art in your culinary palette.
Use this Salmiakki flavoring concentrate to develop your own artistic creations. As you blend it together with other complementary flavor layers, it will develop nuances and notes that either soften or strengthen according to your desire.
The layers of a completed flavoring profile can come from another Flavorah concentrate, such as Licorice or Vanilla Bean, or from the medium you choose to mix it with. Try mixing Flavorah in gummies and hard candy, frosting, sodas, or a playful cocktail.
Flavorah makes flavor art into an expression of individual perception and beauty. Our flavoring is designed to empower you to communicate this balance of potent perfection with the sense of taste and smell.

Mood Through Combination
As a candy, Salmiakki feels playful and joyful. With chocolate it turns nostalgic, and with black currant it becomes a celebration of Nordic candy.
Recipe Ideas
Try salmiakki chews with Vanilla Bean, a chocolate salmiakki with Milk Chocolate, or a black currant licorice with Black Currant. Start each with a small amount and adjust in test batches.
Mixing Notes
Salmiakki develops with rest; taste it after a day or two before adjusting.
Building a Recipe
Start with a small amount, taste, and build in small steps, testing in your own batch. As the lead candy flavor it sits toward the middle of each range; as a salty licorice accent, lower. Set the ratios first, then adjust the total.
