The Origin of the Swedish Fish and the Lingonberry Mystery
The history of Malaco began in 1934 under the name Malmö Lakrits Compani. While the brand initially focused on licorice, it achieved global fame in the 1950s by developing Pastellfiskar, known internationally as “Swedish Fish.” These iconic chewy treats were specifically designed for the North American export market to represent Sweden’s thriving fishing industry. While many fans debate the exact profile of the original red fish, it is widely believed to be inspired by the tart and sweet flavor of the Swedish lingonberry. Today, Malaco is owned by Cloetta, ensuring these historic recipes continue to reach fans across Europe. For Portuguese customers seeking an authentic taste of Scandinavia, these fish remain a staple of the brand’s legacy, offering a unique texture that has remained virtually unchanged for over seventy years.
From Gott & Blandat to Djungelvrål: A Masterclass in Texture
Malaco is renowned for its “Texture Philosophy,” offering a sensory journey through different densities and mouthfeels. Their flagship product, Gott & Blandat, launched in 1979 and revolutionized the market by mixing firm wine gums with salty licorice. In 2022, the Gott & Blandat Original recipe was updated to be fully vegan, removing gelatin and beeswax without compromising its signature chew. For those who prefer an intense experience, Djungelvrål (meaning “Jungle Scream”) provides a masterclass in contrast; these super-salty licorice monkeys are coated in salmiak salt and possess an extremely tough, long-lasting texture. This vegan-friendly treat is a favorite for those who enjoy the sharp, mineral sting of traditional Nordic licorice. Whether it is the soft fruitiness of Fruxo or the dense bite of Zoo, Malaco products are crafted in facilities that meet strict BRC Global Standards for Food Safety.
The Saturday Candy Tradition: Why Malaco Defines Lördagsgodis
In Sweden, the concept of Lördagsgodis, or “Saturday Candy,” is a cultural institution. This tradition, which encourages families to enjoy sweets once a week, has been championed by Malaco for decades through their famous slogan, “Saturday all week.” As a cornerstone of the Swedish confectionery scene alongside brands like Fazer and Bubs, Malaco provides the essential components for any “Pick & Mix” bag. From the classic paper boxes of Tutti Frutti to the diverse textures found in Cloetta assortments, these treats are central to the European candy experience. By utilizing natural coloring concentrates like black carrot and spirulina instead of azo-dyes, Malaco ensures that their vibrant candies meet modern standards. For customers in Portugal, ordering these classics ensures a fast delivery of authentic Swedish culture, bringing the joy of a Nordic Saturday straight to your door in EUR.
