Läkerol Salvi
Salvi eh? Just like yesterday’s, this is something that’s gonna take a bit of explaining, and be fortunate you get one…as once again I found out how this tasted the hard way.
Salvi takes the “sal” from yesterday’s salmiak, i.e. the saltiness, and mixes it with “vi”, the beginning of the word…violet. Anyone from the UK can probably now get an instant picture of how this tastes…
Yes, parma violets, that’s right. Salty parma violets…lovely. For those not in the know, violet is a real love or hate taste, as far as I’m concerned it tastes like cheap perfume, I can’t understand how anyone can like this stuff.
It’s bad enough when sweet, but salty is even stranger, it’s not NEARLY as salty as yesterday’s, but it’s definitely got a tinge of salt to it, and it’s just…not good, not good at all. If you like violet as a flavour then you may find a new obsession here, but for me, this was just…bad, to put it gently.

Aw these all sound like they’ve been quite disappointing. The Blue Fruits flavour is very nice, and they do a Cassis flavour which is also very nice!

This is my 2nd favorite flavour next to Salmiak. It’s seriously good and you need to add it to your ‘Things-to-do-before-you-die’ list. Got my first batch freshly made in Sweden and have since imported new stock to UK from: http://www.northerner.com/en/food/Northerner_Swedish_Candy-306/Salvi%20Pastilles,%20Lakerol-2665/
I see they can also ship from US so Yanks don’t have to pay heavy postage.

My aunt went to finland and came back with salty violet (Salvi), salty licorice (Salmiak) and licorice persimon :/
I REALLY hope it was a joke.
But if it was, it wasn’t very funny.
