Handcrafted hard candy with Arctic Thyme and Blueberry flavor

A hard, glassy sweet flavoured with blueberry and arctic thyme — blóðberg. The blueberry is soft and sweet; the thyme comes in behind, faintly floral and herbal, the way it smells on a heath in August. Side by side in Icelandic nature, rarely eaten together — here they lift each other.

Kandís says arctic thyme was the trickiest flavour — the oil is hard to extract, so they hand-make their own tincture. Kandís is a small Icelandic maker of handcrafted hard candy inspired by Icelandic flora: natural ingredients, traditional techniques, recipes since 1921.
