The Origin of the Swedish Fish and the Lingonberry Mystery
The global phenomenon known as “Swedish Fish” began in the 1950s when Malaco (then the Malmö Lakrits Compani) developed Pastellfiskar specifically for the North American export market. These chewy, fish-shaped treats were designed to honor Sweden’s thriving fishing industry. While many international fans debate the exact flavor of the iconic red fish, it is widely recognized as lingonberry, a tart Nordic berry that remains a staple of Swedish confectionery. Today, Malaco is owned by Cloetta, ensuring these historic recipes maintain their high standards. For Maltese customers, these treats offer a genuine taste of Scandinavian history. Whether you prefer the classic red fruit or the salty licorice versions, these “fish” represent a masterclass in starch-based candy production that has remained popular for over seventy years.
From Gott & Blandat to Djungelvrål: A Masterclass in Texture
Malaco is renowned for its “Texture Philosophy,” offering a sensory journey from soft foams to the world’s toughest licorice. Their flagship mix, Gott & Blandat, launched in 1979 and revolutionized the industry by combining sweet fruit gummies with salty licorice in a single bag. For those seeking an intense experience, Djungelvrål (Jungle Scream) provides super-salty licorice monkeys coated in sharp salmiak salt. This product is famous for its “extremely tough” chew and is a certified vegan treat, free from gelatin. Malaco also produces pocket-sized classics like Zoo and Fruxo, which offer a firmer, traditional gummy texture. By utilizing natural coloring concentrates like black carrot and spirulina, Malaco ensures that their vibrant sweets meet modern food safety standards while delivering the bold sweet-salty-sour profiles that Swedish candy fans crave.
The Saturday Candy Tradition: Why Malaco Defines Lördagsgodis
In Sweden, the concept of Lördagsgodis, or “Saturday Candy,” is a cultural institution. This tradition, which began in the 1950s to promote dental health by limiting sweets to once a week, transformed Malaco into a household name. Their famous slogan, “Lördag hela veckan” (Saturday all week), suggests that their candy brings the joy of the weekend to any day. Malaco products are the backbone of Swedish pick-and-mix bins, sitting alongside other favorites like Bubs Surskalle or Fazer chocolates. Many of their most popular items, including the updated Gott & Blandat Original, are now vegan-friendly, removing gelatin and beeswax to accommodate more dietary needs. For candy lovers in Malta, ordering Malaco is the fastest way to experience this authentic Swedish tradition, delivered with the efficiency of a small EU island network.
