Kolsvart

Swedish candy with pitch-black imagination

Malmö Licorice Finds New Light

Kolsvart began in Malmö with a failed café dream and a name that means “pitch black” in Swedish. Out of that dark moment came a confectionery company devoted first to Swedish licorice, then to fruit and sour candies shaped like Nordic fish. The brand keeps Scandinavian candy culture recognizable while pairing it with modern flavors, artist collaborations, and a playful sense of discovery.

Purity, Texture, Perfect Balance

Kolsvart’s process is guided by a deceptively hard goal: do simple things exceptionally well. The team balances recognizable natural flavors, restrained sweetness, and a distinctive chew, experimenting without cluttering the ingredient experience. Traditional licorice anchors the range, while elderflower, raspberry, blackcurrant, blueberry, ginger, and smoke create surprising variations with crisp Scandinavian clarity.
