Opal — Jelly Rings (320 g)

Soft jelly rings rolled in sugar — the old-fashioned kind, with a tender bite and a light, fruity taste rather than anything sour or intense. Grape juice from concentrate gives them their fruit note; the colours come from safflower and black carrot. A 320 g bag is built for eating by the handful.

Hlauphringir means "jelly rings", plainly. They're sold under Opal, the pastille-and-sweets name from Nói Síríus in Reykjavík — an everyday Icelandic classic rather than a fancy one.
