From Kexchoklad to Ahlgrens Bilar: Discover Sweden’s Iconic Favorites
Founded in 1862 by Swiss brothers, Cloetta has evolved into the cornerstone of Nordic confectionery. The brand is home to some of the most culturally significant snacks in Northern Europe, most notably Kexchoklad. This crispy, chocolate-covered wafer is a national icon in Sweden, frequently enjoyed during outdoor adventures. Another legendary staple is Ahlgrens Bilar, famously marketed as “Sweden’s most bought car.” These unique foam marshmallows offer a firm, chewy texture that has remained unchanged since 1953. For those who prefer a mix of textures, Polly provides chocolate-coated foam drops with distinct notes of vanilla and butterscotch. Whether you are looking for the seasonal strawberry foam of Juleskum or the sophisticated herbal notes of Läkerol pastilles, this heritage brand offers a diverse portfolio that rivals other giants like Fazer or Toms.
The Masters of Lördagsgodis and the Swedish Pick-and-Mix Tradition
Cloetta plays a pivotal role in the Swedish tradition of Lördagsgodis, or “Saturday Candy.” This cultural phenomenon, which encourages families to enjoy sweets once a week, helped establish the massive “pick-and-mix” walls seen across Scandinavia. Through their ownership of brands like Malaco, Cloetta provides the variety essential for a perfect candy bag. From the salty licorice favorites of Malaco to the playful shapes of Ahlgrens Bilar, their products are designed for sharing. This tradition of variety is also reflected in other Swedish favorites like Bubs Surskalle or the chocolate creations from Marabou (by Mondelez). By offering everything from gluten-free foam cars to vegan-friendly options within their broader range, Cloetta ensures that the Saturday tradition remains inclusive for all New Zealand fans of authentic Swedish sweets.
A Sweeter Future: Cloetta’s Commitment to Sustainable Cocoa and Ingredients
Operating under the “A Sweeter Future” initiative, Cloetta prioritizes ethical sourcing and food safety across its entire production line. The company utilizes Rainforest Alliance certified cocoa and RSPO-certified palm oil, ensuring that your favorite treats support sustainable farming practices. Quality is maintained through strict ISO certifications, with a clear move toward using natural colors and flavors. For customers with specific dietary needs, Ahlgrens Bilar (Original) and Läkerol pastilles are gluten-free, while many products under their umbrella, such as certain Malaco sour candies, are suitable for vegetarians. While they share the market with innovators like Candypeople and Konfekta, Cloetta stands out for its transparent ingredient philosophy. From their primary facility in Ljungsbro to your doorstep in New Zealand, every bag reflects a century-old dedication to high-quality confectionery standards.
