Lakrids by Bülow Pink Pineapple

Lakrids by Bülow combines Danish licorice craftsmanship with an unexpected fruitiness: The Pink Pineapple edition encases delicate soft licorice in a layer of chocolate and a pineapple note that balances sweetness with a hint of tartness. These confections are made in the Copenhagen manufactory of Johan Bülow, who has been making Danish licorice internationally renowned for years.

Small spheres, a crisp chocolate shell, a soft licorice center — the interplay of sweetness, fruit, and the typical licorice-anise flavor makes them a perfect accompaniment for wine evenings with a surprise twist. Recommended pairing: a semi-dry Riesling Spätlese, a light rosé, or a Tawny Port, whose caramel notes complement the fruitiness.
