Description

Sambó Gammeldags: soft pieces of sweet black liquorice with just a little salt. This is the plain, honest kind — chewy, not hard; sweet first, salmiak only as a background note, aniseed underneath. If your idea of Icelandic liquorice is a salt bomb, this is the other, gentler tradition — the one Icelanders eat by the bag.

Gammeldags means "old-fashioned", and that's the promise: made to the old recipes, unchanged. Made in Iceland under the Sambó name.

Good to know: 350 g (12.3 oz) bag · sugar, wheat flour, water, liquorice root, salmiak salt, salt, colouring, aniseed oil, lactic acid, sodium benzoate · contains wheat (gluten) — always check the pack · 303 kcal per 100 g (71 g carbohydrate, 43 g added sugar, 0.5 g fat, 3.9 g protein, 1.0 g salt) · doesn't melt.

How people buy it: The staple liquorice bag for expats — 10 and 20 bags at a time — and the "start here" pick for anyone new to Icelandic liquorice. Safe in summer parcels; it goes into every liquorice gift box we make.

Questions people ask before they buy

Is it salty liquorice?

No — this is the gentle tradition. Sweet first, with salmiak only as a background note and aniseed underneath. If you want the salt bomb, look at Freyja or Appolo.

Is it soft or hard?

Soft and chewy pieces, not hard sticks.

Is it gluten-free?

No — it contains wheat flour.

Will I pay duties or customs on delivery?

Not in the US or Canada — duties and taxes are settled at checkout. For other destinations, any local import charges are collected by the courier on delivery.

Why 10 and 20 bags?

Expats stock up — it keeps well and doesn't melt — and the price per bag drops with each step.
