Handcrafted hard candy with Birch and Apple flavor

A hard, glassy sweet flavoured with green apple and Icelandic birch — sweet and sour in balance. The apple is fresh and tart; the birch adds a faint green woodiness behind it, so it tastes of the outdoors rather than of an apple sweet. Dissolves slowly; one lasts.

Birch (Betula pubescens) is Iceland's most common tree and the signature plant of its landscape — yet almost never used in Icelandic cooking. Kandís is a small Icelandic maker of handcrafted hard candy inspired by Icelandic flora — herbs and berries, natural ingredients, traditional techniques, recipes since 1921.
