The Lakrids by Bülow Cherry Sour flavor is the gourmet confectionery brand's latest release that's expected to catch the attention of existing fans as well as newcomers with a penchant for cherry.
The treat was created by the band's Creative Lab and starts off with a sweet licorice core that's covered in white chocolate. Each piece is paired with cherry granules crafted from cherry juice to give them a sweet, sour flavor in every bite. The treats are characterized by their speckled appearance that's at once eye-catching and appetizing.
Head of Product Development Francisca Listov-Saabye spoke on the Lakrids by Bülow Cherry Sour flavor saying, "For Cherry Sour, I tried to find a delicate, fresh cherry flavor that is instantly recognizable. I drew inspiration from classic American sweets found in petrol station shops, as well as from my childhood memories of making homemade cherry lemonade and pitting all the cherries by hand. In terms of taste, I've tried to create something that is both delicious and playful with a nostalgic twist
