Salty Black Licorice, Jacobsen Co.

The “correct” recipe for salty black licorice has long been a subject of debate, but Jacobsen Co. has created a version that strikes the perfect balance of savory and sweet with a spark of salt to enliven the senses.

The recipe starts with pure sea salt, sustainably harvested from Netarts Bay on the Oregon Coast. Then carefully toast the sugar and butter to a perfect golden brown, before stirring in the molasses and anise. The result: a creamy licorice that slowly unfolds on your palate and finishes with a hit of salt and anise.

This candy contains the traditional black food coloring used to give licorice its recognizable dark hue.
